Overview
- Manchester United confirmed Ruben Amorim’s sacking on Jan. 5, citing the club’s sixth-place position, and named Darren Fletcher to take interim charge.
- Amorim’s 14-month record stood at 25 wins, 15 draws and 23 defeats in 63 matches, a 38.1% win rate reported as among the club’s worst since Ferguson.
- Tensions flared in recent days with Amorim publicly challenging the hierarchy and reports of disagreements with director of football Jason Wilcox over tactics and transfers.
- Media reports said Amorim is due around €11 million in severance, lifting his total cost to United to roughly €30 million when buyout and salary are included.
- Chelsea announced Liam Rosenior on a contract through 2032 after recruiting him from BlueCo-linked Strasbourg, drawing criticism from supporters over multiproperty sway and leaving RCSA to seek a successor.
