It’s been close to a month since Ruben Amorim was dismissed by Manchester United, and the former head coach still hasn’t spoken publicly about his exit.
Amorim’s downfall came quickly. The Portuguese manager lashed out at the club’s hierarchy over a single weekend, leading to his dismissal.
His final game in charge was a 1-1 draw with Leeds United. The following morning, Ineos made the decision to sack him, ending his tenure after 14 months.
Despite poor results, fans had shown real support for Amorim, who suffered through a dreadful Premier League campaign and the club’s lowest-ever finish in 2024/25. Still, it’s been surprising how little has come from him since leaving Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim plans Manchester United farewell for later date
Amorim’s relationship with the club broke down quickly, and he left with no intention of repairing any ties. But fans never lost faith in him, and his connection with the supporters remained strong throughout.
The Daily Mail now reports that Amorim has decided to hold off on speaking about his departure from United until after the season has finished.
He apparently wants to avoid distracting new manager Michael Carrick, who is still settling into the role.
Carrick has started well, matching Amorim’s longest winning run of three games early in his tenure.
Amorim may reveal details of Ineos meetings
Amorim left United frustrated, taking aim at sporting director Jason Wilcox on his way out.
Wilcox is said to have been involved in tactical decisions during Amorim’s tenure, which the Portuguese manager reportedly felt overstepped boundaries.
While Amorim is holding off on his farewell until season’s end, he might use that moment to shed light on the events leading up to his dismissal.
There were reports of a heated exchange between Amorim and Wilcox just before the Leeds game, and fans may soon get more clarity on what happened behind closed doors.
Throughout his time as head coach, Amorim was known for his honesty, and there’s no reason to expect that will change now that he’s gone.
