Nearly two months after leaving United, Ruben Amorim gets great news | OneFootball

The process of terminating Ruben Amorim’s contract, who was dismissed at the beginning of this calendar year, could end up costing Manchester United even more. In a report sent to the New York Stock Exchange, the English club states that “it has set aside £15.9 million (€18.17 million), which represents the maximum potential amount the British club may have to pay in compensation to the coach and his staff”. This amount is higher than what was initially reported at the time of the termination, which was estimated at around £11 million.

In the report containing the results for the second quarter (October to December) of the current season, the Red Devils also mention, in a “post-reporting date event,” €7.2 million in amortizations—related to the hiring of the former coach from Sporting—which were written off from the balance sheets, thus recognized as a loss.

The document does not explain the reason why Man. United may have to pay the maximum amount, but according to the English press, it is related to Amorim’s professional future, as he remains without a club and, therefore, still on Old Trafford’s payroll.

At the time, the statements made after the 1-1 draw against Leeds United were decisive for the outcome between the two parties. With 31 points from 20 matches, the Red Devils were fighting for direct qualification to the Champions League, but were far from the top positions.

As head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim managed 63 matches, recording 24 wins, 18 draws, and 21 losses. The coach reached a Europa League final, where he was defeated by Tottenham, missing out on a place in the Champions League.
