Ruben Amorim linked with new job days after Man Utd exit
Ruben Amorim is reportedly being linked with a swift return to management following his dismissal by Manchester United.
The Portuguese left the Red Devils sixth in the Premier League, but his outspoken criticism of the club’s board appears to have sealed his fate.
Tensions, particularly with director of football Jason Wilcox, escalated after United’s 1-1 draw at Leeds, when Amorim insisted he was the “manager and not the coach.”
Despite a modest 38.1% win rate at Old Trafford, the 40-year-old could be in line to replace Jose Mourinho at Benfica, who are struggling 10 points behind Porto and facing Champions League pressure.
Reports suggest the ex-Sporting Lisbon boss remains a sought-after figure, and his next managerial chapter may come sooner than expected.
