Rúben Amorim, the former Manchester United manager, has seen his financial fate become a topic of discussion following his dismissal. Despite having a contract that would still guarantee him around €13.8 million, the 40-year-old Portuguese coach will end up with a significantly lower amount due to tax issues. The ‘Manchester Evening News’ reports that, after tax-related deductions, Amorim is expected to receive only about €6.3 million.
British legislation has a significant impact on severance payments, which could leave Amorim feeling aggrieved at a time when his career was taking an unexpected turn. Manchester United, for its part, will have to pay an additional €1.7 million, corresponding to its obligations as an employer, according to the same source.
Rúben Amorim’s tenure at Manchester United was not marked by resounding successes. He arrived at the English club after a remarkable spell at Sporting, where he made a name for himself between 2020 and 2024. However, his time at Old Trafford was characterized by significant challenges. Over the 63 matches he managed the team, Amorim accumulated a record of 25 wins, 23 losses, and 15 draws. The combination of these numbers reflects the turmoil that characterized his days at the helm of the Red Devils.
The past few weeks have also been complicated in terms of sporting results. United is experiencing a turbulent phase, having been unable to hold onto leads in crucial matches. In the most recent game, where Bruno Fernandes was one of the protagonists, the team could not avoid a turnaround, resulting in yet another winless match, the fifth consecutive, an unsustainable situation for a club of Manchester United’s stature.
Meanwhile, Amorim’s future is shrouded in speculation. His sabbatical, focused on mental health, raises questions about what his next career move might be. The coach has already admitted that his journey in the world of football has had a significant impact on his family, suggesting that there is much more behind his experience as a coach. With rumors linking him to a possible succession of José Mourinho at Benfica, all eyes will now be on what the future holds for this young manager, who, despite the challenges, remains a respected figure in both Portuguese and international football.
