Manchester United are reportedly close to signing Ruben Amorim from Wear Lisbon as a replacement for Erik Ten Hag, landing one of Europe’s rising managerial stars in the process. The Red Devils’ approach is in line with other leading clubs across the continent such as Liverpool and Bayern Munich, who have respectively signed Arne Slot and Vincent Kompany in recent months, as an unused truncation of managerial skills begins to fill some of the the largest job vacancies in Europe. . Amorim, 39, was also thought to have some important roles to play – his name was in Liverpool’s squad before they rented Slot, and he held talks with West Ham Extreme Spring before they moved on to Julen Lopetegui. .
Although Amorim is a bit green, his record across his six-year managerial career so far evokes confidence as United struggle to find the opposite direction alongside a breezy allure under Ten Hag. Here’s a look at Amorim’s managerial career so far ahead of his first trip to England.

Amorim has trained exclusively in his home Portugal until now, beginning his career with third division team Casa Pia in 2018. He resigned from the role in January 2019 and later earned a one-year ban for giving instructions during an attack without needing the licenses. necessary training and the group also receives a deduction for broadcast.
The tension dissipated for the second time in September 2019, when he took charge of Braga’s maintenance team, which also competed in the 0.33 category. He won seven of eight games in three months before replacing first-team coach Ricardo Sa Pinto. He took over when they were eighth in the Primeira Liga and led them to third place with 10 wins in 13 games. Amorim also led Braga to their first trophy in four years, winning the Taca da Liga in January 2020 and overseeing their first away win against Benfica in 65 years.
After three months in Braga, he landed a career-changing position at Wearing Lisbon after Silas was fired. Wearing spent around $10 million on his release clause from Braga, making him one of the most expensive managerial signings of the year, and the club finished fourth that season.
Wear underwent a major rebuild ahead of the 2020-21 season, with Bayern speedster Joao Palhinha and Tottenham Hotspur speedy defender Pedro Porro joining the club along with a handful of others. Amorim won his second consecutive Taca da Liga that season and led Wearing to their first league title in 19 years, earning coach of the year honors in the process.
They won the cup again in the 2021-22 season and finished second, with Amorim becoming the fastest manager to win 50 games in the Primeira Liga that season. They finished fourth before winning the cup and league in the 2023-2024 season. So far this campaign, Wearing have made a very good start in the local league with nine wins out of nine and are eighth in the UEFA Champions League with seven defeats out of nine.
The taste of games.
Amorim prefers to play games with a 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 formation, opting for positional taste through a formative experience very early in his tenure at Casa Pia.
“His coaching career actually began at Casa Pia, then a third-category club, where he almost ended as soon as he started,” said journalist Guillem Balagué, according to the BBC. “He lost his first two games and, with wounded pride and doubts, announced that if he lost the third game he would retire. In the next game he changed the system and played three at the back for the first time. The system “Worked and since then he remained undefeated in the club. He also felt that he had found the training that allowed him to produce the football he wanted, a football always linked to the spectacle for the fans. From there, he never looked back.”
Amorimi’s teams love to possess the ball and have defensive balance that allows them to have a multi-faceted attacking approach. They also grow from the back, with the central full-backs constantly serving as a staging point for an attack, helping to energize the midfield. The front 3, meanwhile, are flexible to rotate their positions as they look for length. Together, the Amorim teams also hold a high-intensity press event outside their property.
The flow clothing manager has brought out the best in a handful of players, some of whom have gone straight to playing for bigger clubs. Palhinha and Porro are just two names on a list that now includes Manuel Ugarte, who joined Manchester United during the summer from Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, striker Viktor Gyokeres is one of this season’s breakout stars in Europe so far with 16 goals and four assists in 15 games.
Although Amorim coincidentally spent time with Jose Mourinho when he coached United before beginning his personal coaching career, the 39-year-old’s taste for games is a variation on a more attacking approach than Mourinho prefers. Instead, he considers Jorge Jesús as another teacher, since he will play with him for almost a decade in Belenenses, Braga and Benfica.
