Rio Ferdinand Backs New Head Coach Ruben Amorim To Succeed At Man Utd
If Pep Guardiola: Manchester United have announced the appointment of highly sought after manager, Ruben Amorim as the side’s new head coach on a two and a half year contract which has tied him at Old Trafford till June 2027. Former team captain, Rio Ferdinand has backed the Portuguese head coach to succeed at the club.
“If Pep Guardiola had gone, I think that [Ruben] Amorim would have been someone that Manchester City were looking at. There are similarities to what Erik ten Hag was doing at Ajax but what I would say is that Amorim took a club that was on a barren spell.
“[Sporting] couldn't compete with Porto or Benfica, hadn't got near to winning the league - disenchanted fanbase, turmoil behind the scenes. He went in there and immediately turned their fortunes around. He changed their style of football, style of play, and expectations.
