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.

Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodriguez shifts from defiance to calls for cooperation as the White House ramps up pressure and threatens further action.
And Nicolás Maduro is set to appear in a New York courtroom, facing drug trafficking, weapons, and narco-terrorism charges that could test the reach of U.S. law overseas.

….Cameroon 2-1 South Africa…..
RABAT-(MaraviPost)-Cameroon booked their place in the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 after a tense 2–1 victory over South Africa in the Round of 16.
The match,saw the Indomitable Lions take control early and withstand a late fightback from Bafana Bafana.
The first breakthrough came in the first half when Junior Tchamadeu opened the scoring for Cameroon.
His goal rewarded the Lions’ early dominance and left South Africa trailing as the teams went into halftime.
The goal also highlighted Cameroon’s clinical approach in taking chances when they arise.
South Africa tried to respond but struggled to create clear-cut opportunities in the first half.
Cameroon’s midfield controlled the tempo and limited the South African attacks, frustrating Bafana Bafana’s attempts to level the score before the break.
Cameroon returned from halftime with renewed energy. Just minutes into the second half, Christian Kofane doubled the lead for the Indomitable Lions.
His composed finish gave Cameroon a 2–0 advantage and put South Africa under significant pressure to mount a comeback.
Trailing by two goals, South Africa intensified their attacking efforts.
They pressed higher up the field and tried to exploit spaces left by Cameroon, determined to keep their AFCON dreams alive.
The persistence paid off when Evidence Makgopa scored for Bafana Bafana on 88 minutes, reducing the deficit to 2–1.
The goal injected belief into the South African side and made the final stages of the match highly competitive and tense.
Cameroon, however, relied on their experience and composure to manage the closing minutes. They defended resolutely and slowed down the tempo whenever South Africa threatened, ensuring the lead remained intact.
Despite South Africa’s late pressure and attacking forays, they could not find the equalizer.
Cameroon’s defensive discipline and strategic play proved decisive in securing the win.
The victory ensures Cameroon progresses to the AFCON 2025 quarterfinals, keeping their hopes of winning the tournament alive since winning AFCON in 2017.
South Africa, meanwhile, exit the competition after a spirited but ultimately unsuccessful effort.

SIRONKO-(MaraviPost)-Uganda Police have dismissed claims that a National Unity Platform (NUP) supporter was shot during the party’s campaign activities in Sironko District.
The individual, identified as Lubulwa Hamza, sustained a head injury during a scuffle after resisting arrest, not from gunfire, according to police.
Hamza was driving recklessly, ignored orders to stop after overtaking the convoy of NUP presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine), and nearly caused an accident, prompting his interception.
Authorities insist there is no medical evidence of a gunshot wound and have urged the public to remain calm as investigations continue.
The incident has sparked rising tensions ahead of the 2026 elections, with conflicting accounts from NUP supporters and police.
Elgon Region Police spokesperson SP Rogers Taitika emphasized that allegations of a shooting are false and unsupported by clinical evidence.

LONDON-(MaraviPost)-Chelsea’s 1-1 draw away to Manchester City may only go down as a single point in the table, but in the wider context of a club in transition, it felt like much more than that.
Thrown into the deep end following Enzo Maresca’s sudden exit, interim head coach Calum McFarlane faced the ultimate baptism of fire a trip to the Etihad to take on Pep Guardiola’s champions.
Instead of retreating into damage limitation, Chelsea responded with bravery, structure and a refusal to accept defeat.
City’s early dominance was expected, and when Tijani Reijnders punished a costly Chelsea error before half time, it appeared the script was following a familiar path.
Erling Haaland had already rattled the post, and the home crowd sensed another routine win.
But Chelsea did not unravel. McFarlane tweaked his shape at the break, introducing Andrey Santos and asking his side to be braver in transition. The change worked.
Chelsea began to carry a greater attacking threat, even if Pedro Neto’s glaring miss threatened to undo their renewed momentum.
What followed was a test of mentality. Chelsea stayed compact, pressed intelligently and defended as a unit.
Young players like Josh Acheampong and Estevao Willian showed maturity beyond their years, while Enzo Fernandez led by example in midfield.
The reward came in the dying seconds.
Malo Gusto’s delivery found Fernandez once more and this time the Argentine made no mistake.
The away end erupted, the bench emptied and a moment of collective release followed weeks of uncertainty.
Beyond the drama, the performance felt like a quiet message to the club’s hierarchy and to likely incoming manager Liam Rosenior.
This squad, often criticised for inconsistency and fragility, showed togetherness, commitment and a willingness to absorb pressure for the greater good.
With this draw Manchester City remain on position two with 42 points from 20 games while Chelsea remain on position 5 with 31 points from same number of games
