Ruben Amorim departs as Elland Road’s most memorable outbursts recalled | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim’s post-match remarks at Elland Road were swiftly followed by his exit from Manchester United, placing him among a roll call of memorable outbursts at the stadium.

According to Leedsunited.news, Leeds earned a battling draw with Man United at the weekend, and Amorim’s media-suite press conference became his final act in the job.

Kevin Keegan’s 1996 tirade remains the benchmark. With Newcastle’s title bid wobbling, he railed at Sir Alex Ferguson’s mind games and said he would love to beat United, yet his team fell short.

In 2021, Jurgen Klopp bristled amid the European Super League furore, as Leeds warmed up in shirts about earning Champions League places and football for fans, branding the gesture a joke.

This season, Mo Salah’s mixed-zone intervention after a 3-3 draw overshadowed Leeds’ Ao Tanaka-inspired comeback. He lamented a third benching, said summer promises were unmet, and felt scapegoated as relations with Arne Slot soured.

Leeds have had their own eruptions. In 2014, then-owner Massimo Cellino tore into his players after a 5-1 home loss to Bolton, calling them chickens despite Matt Smith’s consolation.

Back to Amorim, a brilliant Brenden Aaronson strike had seemed to set Leeds on course before the match finished level. He criticised the hierarchy, said he came to be a manager not just a coach, accepted he was not Tuchel, Conte or Mourinho, and vowed not to quit until replaced.
