    Ruben Amorim is the latest head coach to tackle the top job at Manchester United. The Portuguese tasted success as a player and a manager in his homeland, but can he cut it in the Premier League?

    Ruben Amorim is the new head coach of Manchester United, who he joined from Sporting Lisbon in November 2024.

    The former Portugal international won three league titles as a player at Benfica, plus six domestic cups and one at Braga.

    After starting his career in the lower levels of Portuguese football he became manager of Braga in 2019 and led them to Taca da Liga trophy in the 2019/20 season.

    He joined Sporting Lisbon in 2020 and has won two Portuguese titles and two Taca da Ligas with the club.

    Amorim was also named as the Primeira Liga's manager of the season in 2021 and 2024.

    He was named as Manchester United's new head coach in November 2024, with the Old Trafford club  paying Sporting Lisbon an extra €1m (£840,000) on top of his €10m (£8.4m) exit clause for an early release from his 30-day notice period.
