why would Amorim leave the comfort of his current club to come here?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you really not understand the pull of managing a club like Utd and trying to get us back to the top?
Most managers would bite your hand off at such a chance
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe, but this club has mentally destroyed managers for the last 12 years.
The only thing that would draw people to united at the moment is £££££. Any sane person that didn't want a big paycheck would steer clear.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You underestimate the ego of high achievers.

Anyone realised that we have a head coach now as opposed to manager?

That really depends on the manager. You don't think that the chance to return United to our former glories is a pull for some managers?

I know that the club has been poorly run. But I am not sure that ETH really has anyone to blame. He has been well backed in the transfer market and, from the signings that he has made, it seems likely that the players brought in were his choices. We have spent circa £600m under ETH. He can't blame the crap football on those above him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree but it's such a mammoth task to get United to where they need to be and this fella is relatively inexperienced.

Maybe that is the difference... We have had fairly senior people manage us so far, and manage us poorly.
Maybe we need someone young with fresh ideas.

Why should this be a surprise or a talking point? We’ve been talking about it as a key feature of the structural change, Arab, since SIr Jim increased his minority stake. Where have you been, man?!

Most top managers have big egos, so the Utd job will always appeal - to be the guy who could get them back to the top.

I don't think experience counts for much when taking on this role - you either have that something special about you or you don't. I actually think it suits an up and coming manager who wants to prove himself and be the next big thing - but there are very few of those, for every one or two, there will be dozens, who may be good managers, but not quite what you need to succeed.

But i think Moyes and ETH were the only 2 who we got when they were still in their peak and reasonable choices.

The BBC has released an interesting piece on Amorim, delving into his persona, tactics and what he may do at Utd. Sporting Lisbon fans and Portuguese journalists regard him as a generational managerial talent, which is high praise indeed.

Have our ‘generational talent’ experts on here confirmed that yet?

I seem to remember Sky doing a piece on Ole when he took the United job, went to Norway interviewing all the journos and experts over there, all said he was destined to be a world class coach etc etc

They often tend to go overboard, unfortunately, but this watch is quite decent from the BBC.

Almorim and Sporting were in disagreement over the timing of his departure. Almorim preferred to leave at the end of the season, while Sporting, in urgent need of funds, insisted he move immediately or not at all. Forced out?

It was United that said now or never. Amorim also said he won’t be going for any Sporting players in January.

I filtered old Sherminator (and VC) as all they do is come onto articles and just insult for no reason whatsoever. By all means be robust in your argument and defend it but in what sane world should we put up with angry weirdos like them using this site to vent their real world frustrations on people on here who just wanna have a laugh and can’t see the thinly veiled irony in these type of articles?

My experience on here will be so much better filtering the ones who seek to destroy rather than create.

Hilarious that you call anyone weird, considering you spend your life thinking you’re an online celebrity on an anonymous forum.

Let's not put the 'GM' curse on him

For me, he just feels like the right guy, and I haven't really felt that with previous managers - it felt more hope than expectation. Of course could be wrong, and he will be given time, but sometimes you can tell early on when he gets here if he is the right fit or not

What did you do to upset him, Termy.

All I did was ask if this was his next crusade and that he was like a JA 606 version of Lisa Simpson.

Nothing abusive at all. Just a bit of fun.

I hope the GM comparison is just hype but it's understandable why Sporting fans hold Amorim in such high esteem. His transformative impact on a sleeping giant was truly amazing in a short space of time. Breaking up the league's duopoly of Porto and Benfica felt like the stuff of dreams for Sporting fans, yet he achieved it with style. He has a likable demeanor, both on and off the pitch, and his team's playing style has attracted plaudits from all quarters. What can go wrong ? 🤣

However, we must be realistic, he has yet to encounter a challenge the size and complexity of Utd. He is relatively young and inexperienced as a coach so that in itself present huge risks. I hope he approaches this chance head on and is not distracted by the constant spotlight and noise. I for one remain cautiously optimistic about our future! 😊

Just said he was like a lovestruck teenager with regards to Gyokeres. Pretty harmless.

If he gets upset so easily, maybe he should give up this anonymous Internet celebrity stuff….
