The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Man Utd appoint Ruben Amorim

[El Prontonise]

He won Sporting their first league title in 20 years, also he plays with an identity.  He's a very good manager imo.

Worked out swimmingly last time they appointed someone who was successful in their domestic league and nowhere else.

 

Be very interesting to see how this pans out.

Looks to be a talented young manager, and a quality signing, but you just never know.

 

I rate that Michael Edwards at Liverpool very very highly. I thought it quite interesting that they spoke to Amorim first and opted against going for him, before then pivoting to Slot.

 

Not sure if the reason for why they chose not to go for him was ever reported, but it did seem strange.

This does feel a bit like a flavour of the month signing. 

 

The Premiership is full of excellent managers that he'll be competing against. I doubt whether that's the case with the Portuguese league. We'll see.

I’m massively biased, but it seems a really weird choice by Amorim if he was truly in the running for the city job.

Can’t imagine anything better than a job you only have to do for a couple of years and you’re set for life when you get sacked. 

 

 

How about being demonstrably shite for nearly 30 year yet getting payoff after payoff from clueless club owners?

Highly rated but who knows how that transfers to the PL.

 

Their squad for quality v expenditure is poor but they don’t have the financial restrictions we do but I don’t think they’re in a position to bin off lots of Ten Hags signings so the turn around might be slow.
