[Saba Sports News] Recently, Manchester United officially announced that Ruben Amorim will no longer serve as the head coach. In the official announcement, Manchester United stated that Amorim is stepping down from the role. He took office in 2024 and led the team to the UEFA Europa League final held in Bilbao last May. Manchester United is currently ranked sixth in the Premier League, and the club’s leadership has reluctantly made this decision, believing that now is the right time for change. This will provide the team with the best opportunity to strive for the highest possible ranking in the Premier League. The club thanks Amorim for his contributions and wishes him all the best in the future. Darren Fletcher will take charge for the match against Burnley on Wednesday. Amorim’s comments after the recent 1-1 draw with Leeds United sparked intense reactions, as he repeatedly emphasized in the press conference that he had come to Manchester United to be a “manager” rather than a “coach.” It is reported that Darren Fletcher is expected to temporarily take over as head coach, while the appointment of a permanent head coach is likely to wait until the summer. Amorim took charge in November 2024, achieving 25 wins, 15 draws, and 23 losses, with a win rate of less than 40% over the year. This season, Manchester United is currently ranked sixth in the Premier League.”
