🚨 UPDATE: Manchester United are moving forward with their plans to bring Rúben Amorim on board, carefully working through the complexities of his contract, staff arrangements, and the timing of his transition to the club’s management. The process, which involves numerous moving parts, is focused on not only bringing in Amorim as head coach but also securing the essential team members who make up his backroom staff to ensure a smooth transition.
This announcement follows confirmation that Manchester United have activated Amorim’s €10 million release clause, a substantial commitment that reflects their confidence in the Portuguese manager’s ability to lead the club forward. Triggering this release clause represents the first step in a series of negotiations with Sporting, his current club, and sets the stage for discussions about the practical details of his move, including his notice period and any financial arrangements that might need to be addressed to facilitate the shift.
Among the considerations at play is Sporting’s insistence on additional compensation for Amorim’s support staff. This team includes key figures who work closely with the manager and play a crucial role in his approach, from strategy formulation to day-to-day training operations. Manchester United are evaluating how best to bring these team members over while also respecting Sporting’s demands for extra financial contributions related to their departures.
The timing of the entire process is another critical factor, as both Manchester United and Sporting work to coordinate the ideal window for Amorim’s exit. This includes managing the 30-day notice period specified in his contract with Sporting, which is currently under negotiation. The intention is to ensure a transition that is as seamless as possible, minimizing disruption for both clubs and enabling Amorim to start his journey with Manchester United fully prepared.
