Manchester United's firefighter was Hoobeng Amorim, a 39-year-old young master.
On the 1st (Korea Standard Time), Manchester United said on the club's official channel that it signed coach Amorim until June 2027 and included an option to extend one year, adding that it will join the team on the 11th after completing its work at its current team, Sporting CP (Portugal). After announcing the replacement of Erik tenhach, Manchester United immediately started to appoint a replacement head coach. Coach Amorim, who has been leading Sporting CP for a long time, has been selected as the next head coach and recruited him. Until Amorim joins the team, Manchester United is led by coach Ruud van Nistelrooy. Acting manager Van Nistelrooy led Leicester City to a 5-2 victory in the League Cup last time. Acting coach Van Nistelorut will also sit on the bench in the 10th round of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season against Chelsea at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on the 4th.
Manchester United announced on its official channel on the 28th of last month that Coach Ten Hag will step down from Manchester United's men's first team. According to local media reports, he made the decision earlier in the day and notified Ten Hag of his replacement. United were appointed in April 2022 and won two of their own trophies, the 2023 Carabao Cup and the 2024 FA Cup. Thank you for everything coach Ten Hach has done in his time with us, and I wish him all the best in the future.'"

It was a foreseen break-up. Manchester United, led by head coach Ten Hach, fell to 14th place with only three wins (two draws and four losses) in nine games since the opening of this season. In the Europa League, they also drew all three matches. In the end, the match against West Ham became a farewell match. Manchester United lost 1-2 away to West Ham on the 27th. Coach Ten Haach defended himself after the match against West Ham, saying, "(The performance was good)" but the leadership's judgment was different.
Manchester United retained manager Erik ten Hag ahead of this season. At first, the break-up was likely. United are eighth in the league. It was the worst performance since 1990. In the European Champions League, he also suffered the humiliation of being eliminated from the group stage. Manchester United, which has set up a new leadership beyond the Glazer family era, said goodbye to coach Ten Hach and fiddled with the new manager's card.
There was a big twist. He beat his rival Man City to win the FA Cup. In the end, he continued to accompany coach Ten Hag. They re-signed for two years. Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Amorim, Roberto de Gervi and Xavi Alonso were mentioned as new candidates for the coach, but they decided to give Ten Hag a boost once again.
Manchester United opened their wallets again this summer. Matthijs The Licht, Nusair Mazwari, Lenny Yoro and Joshua Zirkji have been recruited to upgrade their power. Of course, it's not a championship record, but it's definitely a squad that can threaten the championship. But Manchester United did not meet expectations. In this situation, coach Ten Haach only complained to the media. In particular, Tottenham's sixth-round defeat at home on September 30th poured fuel on angry public opinion. On this day, Tottenham was not in normal power, with captain and captain Son Heung-min missing. Manchester United, on the other hand, sent out all the main players. It was a favorable atmosphere for Manchester United, but the result was shockingly 0-3 defeat.
Manchester United fans voiced their opinions that Ten Hach should be replaced immediately. Manchester United leaders expressed their support for Ten Hag through Sky Sports. Manchester United CEO Omar Verada said on Sky Sports that `We still believe in Eric. I give him my full support" he said. "We think Eric is the right coach for us and we're fully supporting him," he said. Dan Asheworth, Manchester United's sporting director, also said there was nothing to say other than reiterating that he had really enjoyed working with Eric in the last eight weeks.
Nevertheless, there was no rebound. Only Ten Hag's mouth became rougher. Manchester United also bounced the abacus, but it was not easy to replace it right away. According to reports by the British media, if Ten Hach is replaced, Manchester United will have to pay a penalty of about 17.5 million pounds (about 30.9 billion won). The amount is inevitably a burden for Manchester United, whose financial condition is not good enough to fire its employees right away. Manchester United held a marathon meeting over the replacement of coach Ten Hach due to continued sluggishness, but in the end, its future was not decided again. Coach Ten Hag responded with a confident attitude, such as going on vacation.
Coach Ten Hach had another chance, but failed to raise the team in the end. United have been consistent with their lackluster performance and results. Coach Ten Hag spent 645.8 million pounds (about 1.161 trillion won), the most among Manchester United's head coaches, in the two and a half years since his inauguration. He spent 466.1 million euros (about 698 billion won) under Jose Mourinho, 450.8 million euros (about 675 billion won) under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and 268.5 million euros (about 402 billion won) under Luis van Gaal.
Players recruited over the past two years include Antony, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Rasmus Höirun, Mason Mount, Andre Onana, Matthijs de Ligt, Lenny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkj. It broke the worst record ever, rather than rebounding even after making investments to the point where it completely fixed the starting lineup. Coach Ten Hag led a total of 128 games for Manchester United, recording 70 wins, 23 draws and 35 losses and a 54.7% winning rate. It was the worst in every way. The result was a replacement.

United's response was swift. With Xavi Hernandez and Graham Potter mentioned, Manchester United's choice was Amorim. Amorim is one of Portugal's young masters. Amorim was an experienced player who even played for Portugal. However, he ended his career early due to injury. Amorim, who turned leader, has experience from the Portuguese third division??That's right. Amorim, who was recognized for his ability, took the helm of Team B, and soon after, the first team manager was replaced, and he took the opportunity.
Amorim quickly settled Braga and led him to the Portuguese League Cup championship. Sporting, who watched this, appointed coach Amorim by paying a large penalty. This was a stroke of God.
Director Amorim opened the era of success in Sporting. It broke the two-river system of Porto and Benfica. In his debut season, he won the League Cup with Portugal's Primera Liga and achieved a double. He also made it to the round of 16 in the European Champions League next season. Last season, he won the league again. Manager Amorim has lifted several trophies, including two Portuguese Liga championships and two League Cup championships, and has been undefeated this season with nine wins in nine league games.
Of course, I got a love call from a big club. It was Manchester United who had manager Amorim. United quickly decided to pay Amorim a €10 million buyout. British media also reported on his appointment. On the 31st, England's The Athletic signed an agreement with Sporting to appoint Amorim as the next head coach. As part of the deal, Amorim will lead Sporting to Amarra, Man City and SC Bra. Manager Amorim will take charge of Manchester United's game for the first time in an away trip to Ipswich Town on the 24th of next month.

The reason why Amorim cannot come to Manchester United right away is because of the rules of the contract with Sporting. Manager Amorim is free to leave if he pays a penalty of 10 million euros (about 15 billion won) from overseas clubs, but the clause has a 30-day grace period. Sporting does not want to suddenly change their head coach ahead of an important match, so it seems that they wanted to leave Amorim at least until the A-match period in November.
Amorim became the youngest manager in Manchester United's history. Manchester United was also highly regarded as both a player and a coach, saying, `Hubeng (Amorim) is one of the most exciting and highly regarded young leaders in European football.' He also won the Portuguese Primerariga twice with Sporting Lisbon. The first win among them was a title given to Sporting for the first time in 19 years. Many soccer fans are paying attention to Amorim as to whether Alex Ferguson will be able to break the managerial atrocities and dark ages that have continued to David Moyes, Luis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ten Hach after retirement.
