Ruben Amorim will be Manchester United’s closest head coach, but he won’t come in until November’s World Cup match. United finalized a deal early on Thursday that will see them pay $10.9 million to clear Wearing’s manager’s commitment along with a $1.1 million remainder that will allow the 39-year-old to complete his employment contract well ahead of its conclusion. of a month.
A statement on Amorim’s appointment is expected in the next 24 hours, according to CBS Sports sources, but the new United boss will remain in Lisbon for the time being. Amorim, who, according to what they say, wanted to come out dressed “with a bang”, will remain in the park for the next three games, saying goodbye to the José Alvalade stadium in a Champions League match against Manchester Town before his last game, away from home. to Braga.
Amorim will soon arrive in Manchester on November 11, where he will have just two weeks to prepare for his first official match, away from home at Ipswich City. Ahead of nearest head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy will spearhead arrangements for matches against Chelsea, PAOK and Leicster Town.
Regardless of whether Van Nistelrooy, who beat Leicester 5-2 in the last 16 of the EFL Cup in his first game, the leftovers once Amorim takes over are thick. Part of the cost of support United is paying is allowing their new senior mentor to bring his staff team with him. Amorim is believed to be joined by five of his Wearing teammates, a group that includes coaches Manuel Ferro, Adelio Candido and Carlos Fernandes. He is also expected to add a goalkeeping mentor and sports scientist to United’s ranks.
“I came here as an assistant to help the club,” Van Nistelrooy mentioned before the victory over Leicester. “Now, in this position, I help as long as necessary. In the future, in any capacity, I am here to help the club continue to build towards the future; that is what I am here for.”
Wear is expected to replace Amorim with B team head coach Joao Pereira.
