Ruben Amorim received a warm and enthusiastic welcome on Monday as he officially took over as head coach of Manchester United. His appointment was confirmed through a statement posted on the club’s official website, titled “Ruben Amorim Arrives at Carrington.”
Upon his arrival, Amorim was greeted by Manchester United’s CEO, Omar Berrada, who shared a warm embrace with the new coach outside the first-team facility. Sporting Director Dan Ashworth and Technical Director Jason Wilcox were also on hand to welcome Amorim, with several photos capturing the moment.
The club further celebrated his arrival on social media, writing, “It’s not just Carrington. It’s home. A warm welcome for Ruben Amorim at our training ground.” Amorim will soon begin his work with Manchester United, pending the completion of his visa process, and he is expected to meet with key staff members to prepare for his first match as manager.
The Portuguese coach, who previously led Sporting Lisbon to two Primeira Liga titles, has signed a contract with Manchester United until 2027. His first game in charge is set for Sunday, November 24, against Ipswich Town in a Premier League fixture.
Amorim’s appointment follows the sacking of Erik Ten Hag, marking a new era for the Red Devils. Meanwhile, Manchester United also confirmed the departure of four first-team coaches. The club announced the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy, along with Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar, and Pieter Morel. All four received heartfelt thanks from the club for their contributions and commitment during their time at United.
Van Nistelrooy’s temporary role as manager ended on a high note with a 3-0 victory over Leicester on Sunday. The club expressed gratitude for his efforts, stating that he would always be welcome at Old Trafford. The full details of the new coaching staff will be announced in due course.
