Manchester United spend fortune on sacking Ruben Amorim: exact fee | OneFootball

Manchester United revealed in its latest financial report the amounts involved in the departure of Ruben Amorim and his coaching staff. His dismissal cost the English club around €19.3 million, a figure far higher than initially reported by the British press.

In addition to Ruben Amorim, Carlos Fernandes, Adélio Cândido, Emanuel Ferro and Jorge Vital also left the Old Trafford club at the start of the year. The Portuguese coach’s spell in Manchester lasted just 14 months, after being hired in November 2024 to replace Erik ten Hag.

The experience ended up being marked by poor results and the inconsistency shown by the English team. Under Ruben Amorim, Manchester United finished the Premier League in 15th place, the club’s worst-ever finish in the competition, although they still reached the Europa League final, losing 1-0 to Tottenham.

It should be remembered that Ruben Amorim was on Benfica’s radar to replace José Mourinho - who has once again been ruled out by Enrique Riquelme - as the Eagles’ new head coach. However, recently, the agency representing the former red devils manager went public to stop the wave of speculation surrounding his future, completely ruling out a possible return to Portuguese football.

In a statement released, AS1 Sports made it clear that the coach’s path has been defined for quite some time and lies exclusively in international projects: “Ruben Amorim made the decision a long time ago to continue his career abroad.”
