Manchester United announced the appointment of Amorim on the 1st (Korea time). The contract period is until June 2027, with an option of a one-year extension. He decided to join Manchester United on the 11th after finishing his work at Sporting CP, where he is currently at the helm.
England's 'The Sun' on the 3rd 'Kike Sanchez Flores expected Amorim to succeed at Manchester United. He reported that he knows what button to press for players these days.
Flores, a Spanish master, is Amorim's teacher. He coached Amorim during the Benfica leadership. "I remember Amorim as a smart, elegant and dedicated footballer," Flores said. He has always been close to his teammates"His team reflects a high level of discipline. He has a similar work ethic to Jose Mourinho, who served as United's head coach" he said.
And only time will tell if Amorim can reach his level. But what's more important is that he understands the spirit of this new generation of players."
Amorim, who was born in 1985, is recognized as the best young head coach in Europe. He was also mentioned as the next Manchester City head coach to replace Pep Guardiola after this season.
Originally from Portugal, he played as a midfielder in Benfica and other countries when he was active. After transforming into a leader, he grew up fast. Amorim, who took his first step as the head coach of Portugal's third division team in January 2019, took the helm of the first division team three months after moving to the head coach of Braga's second division team in September 2019.
He moved to Sporting in March 2020. Sporting reached the top of the Primera Liga in the 2020-2021 and 2023-2024 seasons under coach Amorim.
There is also special know-how in exploding players' potential. A representative player is Viktor Jockeres from Sweden. Amorim transfused Jockeres, who played for Coventry City in the English Championship (division 2) in July 2022.
Jockeres has shown great determination in Sporting, scoring 59 goals in 65 appearances. He is considered the best striker in Europe. Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea are currently interested in Manchester City.
At the same time, attention is focused on the revival of Rasmus Hoylu. Manchester United acquired Hoyleun for 72 million pounds (about 128 billion won) in the transfer market last summer. However, he played 52 games and scored only 18 goals.
"Hoyloon is a good striker, but he won't be able to reach the high bar again unless the team changes their performance level," Flores said. "Amorim now has a chance to train some very good players at Manchester United. He can do Hoylun like he did to Jockeres," he stressed.
