LONDON-(MaraviPost)-Manchester United have dismissed head coach Ruben Amorim after just 14 months in charge, bringing an end to a turbulent spell marked by inconsistent results, internal tensions and a public fallout with the club’s hierarchy.

The decision was taken following United’s 1-1 Premier League draw away to Leeds United, on Saturday a match that proved to be the final straw for the Old Trafford board.

Amorim’s exit comes after an extraordinary post match press conference in which the Portuguese coach launched a thinly veiled attack on senior club officials, questioning recruitment decisions and expressing frustration over his authority within the club.

His comments reportedly angered the board, who moved swiftly to terminate his contract with immediate effect.

The 40-year-old leaves United with a disappointing record, having won just 24 of his 63 matches in charge.

His win percentage of around 38 per cent places him among the least successful managers in the club’s modern history, underlining the scale of the struggles United faced during his tenure.

On the pitch, Amorim was unable to steady a side plagued by defensive frailties.

United endured a historically poor run without an away clean sheet and failed to build any sustained momentum in the league, managing consecutive wins only once during his time at the club.

Last season’s 15th-place Premier League finish and a Europa League final defeat to Tottenham further intensified pressure on the former Sporting Lisbon boss.

Despite heavy investment in the transfer market, including the arrivals of high profile attackers and young defensive prospects, Amorim’s favoured 3-4-3 system never truly took hold.

Critics argued that his tactical rigidity left the team exposed, while Amorim himself later admitted the formation required significant financial backing to function properly.

Behind the scenes, relations between the coach and the club’s recruitment department reportedly deteriorated.

Disagreements over transfer targets and long-term strategy created a growing rift, culminating in Amorim’s public complaints about his role being labelled “head coach” rather than “manager”.

With Amorim now gone, former United midfielder Darren Fletcher is expected to take charge on an interim basis as the club begins the search for a permanent successor.
