Ruben Amorim has decided not to take charge of a new club following his dismissal from Manchester United. The Portuguese coach has already defined his short-term future and will remain away from football until the end of the current season.
Amorim was officially sacked by Manchester United on Monday (January 6), bringing an abrupt end to his spell at Old Trafford. Since then, speculation has grown regarding his next destination, but the coach has chosen a different path.
Amorim rules out immediate return to management
According to journalist Rudy Galetti, Ruben Amorim has informed his close circle that he will not consider any job offers in the coming months. The decision is based on his desire to rest, reflect on his recent experiences and spend time with his family before committing to a new project.
Interest in the coach has already emerged from clubs in the Middle East and Brazilian football, but Amorim has made it clear that he will not engage in negotiations at this stage. For now, a complete pause from the professional game is his priority.
Manchester United dismissal sparks market reaction
Amorim’s departure from Manchester United came as a surprise to many, particularly due to the timing of the decision. The season had been marked by instability and squad transitions, yet there was an expectation that the Portuguese manager would remain in charge until the end of the campaign.
Instead, United’s board opted for an immediate change, triggering widespread speculation across the European coaching market. Despite the attention, Amorim has chosen patience over a rushed return to the sidelines.
Manchester United search for interim solution
With Amorim stepping away, Manchester United are now focused on securing a temporary managerial solution to guide the team through the remainder of the season.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Michael Carrick is among the leading candidates being considered by the club. The former midfielder and United legend has already been contacted for initial discussions and is currently available, making him a strong option as the club looks to restore stability in the short term.
