Reuben Amorim has been sacked as manager, ending his spell at the club after an emergency board meeting held earlier today.
The decision, confirmed by club officials, takes immediate effect and follows a period of inconsistent performances and growing uncertainty over the team’s long-term direction.
Amorim, one of Europe’s most highly rated young coaches, departs after a tenure defined by bold tactical ideas, heavy expectations, and limited patience from the hierarchy.
For African football fans who closely follow European leagues, this development is significant. Amorim has been heavily linked in recent months with top jobs across Europe, including roles often discussed within African football analysis circles.
This sacking reinforces a familiar reality in modern football. Results outweigh philosophy. Time is a luxury few managers are given.
In a short statement, the club thanked Amorim for his commitment and professionalism, while confirming that an interim coach will take charge as the search for a permanent replacement begins.

“With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club’s leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish. The club would like to thank Ruben for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future.”
Details regarding compensation and succession plans remain undisclosed.
For Amorim, this is not an end. It is a reset. His stock in the managerial market remains strong, and a return to the touchline could come sooner rather than later.
