End of the road? Man United owner on Amorim: Snap decisions | OneFootball

Jim Ratcliffe once again expressed his confidence in Ruben Amorim for the position of head coach at Manchester United. The owner of INEOS, the company that owns the Red Devils, made statements on the podcast ‘The Business’, where he explained that the plan is to give more time to the Portuguese coach, who played for Benfica during his playing career – Rio Ferdinand also spoke about the coach.

“He didn’t have the best of seasons, but he needs to show that he is a good coach over three years,” he began, almost as a guarantee about Ruben Amorim’s future, who now knows he will have at least another season and a half to try to turn things around at Manchester United.

The owner of the Manchester club continued: “Sometimes I don’t understand the press. They want Ruben to succeed overnight. They think it’s like a switch. That you flip the switch and everything is perfect. You can’t run a club like Manchester United by making rash decisions.”

He was then asked what would happen if the Glazer family – who owned the club before Ratcliffe and still hold a significant share of Manchester United – wanted to fire Ruben Amorim: “That’s not going to happen. We are very grounded. They are very good people and truly passionate about the club.”

He concluded with a few words about the layoffs he was forced to make at Manchester United due to the club’s financial situation: “They were too high. We have fantastic people, but the level of mediocrity was also increasing.”
