Ruud van Nistelrooy took over as interim head coach at Manchester United after Erik ten Hag was fired. On Monday, the new coach Ruben Amorim took office. As a result, van Nistelrooy and three other Dutch members of the coaching staff left the club.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has led Manchester United back to success since the sacking of Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils advanced to the knockout round of the League Cup with a 5-2 win over Leicester under the interim manager. Then followed a 1-1 draw in the Premier League against Chelsea. In the Europa League, van Nistelrooy’s United claimed their first victory in the league phase with a 2-0 win over PAOK Saloniki. And on Sunday, the club also won in the league, beating Leicester 3-0.
Amorim officially took office on Monday
On Monday, the new head coach, Ruben Amorim, officially took up his post. The Portuguese manager comes to the English record champions from Lisbon with a lot of praise and is expected to finally lead the club back to the top of the Premier League table. Man United’s last league title came under Sir Alex Ferguson in the 2012/13 season.
Under Amorim, the United coaching team is being turned upside down. As a result, van Nistelrooy is also leaving the club. This was announced by Manchester on Monday evening on the club’s website. The former striker is “a Manchester United legend” and “will always be very welcome at Old Trafford”.
In addition to van Nistelrooy, his Dutch compatriots Rene Hake (assistant coach), Jelle ten Rouwelaar (goalkeeping coach) and Pieter Morel (match analyst) are no longer employed by the club.
