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.
