Manchester United dismissed head coach Hoobeng Amorim, who declared an all-out war against the club's leadership. Amorim, who took over with high expectations in November 2024, was unable to avoid a hard blade after 14 months without overcoming a lack of performance and a serious internal power struggle.

The Manchester United club announced in an official statement on the 5th that "Amorim has stepped down as manager."

The club said, "We decided it was the right time to make a change at the current time in sixth place in the Premier League. "This will provide the best chance for the team to finish the season with the highest possible ranking," he said, revealing the background of his replacement. The vacant baton will be temporarily held by coach Darren Fletcher to lead the team from Wednesday's Burnley match.

The prevailing analysis is that the replacement of Amorim was a predicted procedure. The decisive hit was a press conference held shortly after the 1-1 draw with Leeds United on the 4th. In this interview, Amorim poured out relentless vitriol at the top of the club. Manager Amorim clashed head-on with the club, saying, "I'm here to be a manager, not a coach for Manchester United."

In particular, he said, "My name may not be Thomas Tuchel (England national team coach), Antonio Conte (Napoli coach), or Jose Mourinho (SL Benfica coach), but I am Manchester United's manager." "I will never resign first," he declared, showing an attitude close to protesting. He even shot the atmosphere in which the club reacted sensitively to external criticism, including Manchester United legend Gary Neville, adding, "If you can't even handle Neville's criticism, you have to change the club."

In response, Gary Neville analyzed through "BBC" that "Amorim began to show his true colors because of his dissatisfaction with the team's leadership."

Referring to the case of Enso Maresca, who recently left Chelsea, Neville said: "Amorim's comments are similar to what Maresca said about his worst time at Chelsea. "You can read between the lines that Amorim is not satisfied with something within the leadership," he pointed out.

Neville also said, "Coaches tend to attack experts in difficult times, and I don't mind that at all," but pointed out, "I recently supported Bournemouth and Aston Villa, but I can't support a performance like the Wolverhampton Wanderers."

Less than 24 hours after these remarks were made, Manchester United's leadership wielded the dagger of dismissal. "Shortly after Amorim's inflammatory remarks, urgent discussions took place between the leaders, and we decided to break up because we thought the relationship was completely broken," the BBC said.

His performance was also hard to avoid being replaced. Amorim has led a total of 63 matches for Manchester United with 24 wins, 18 draws and 21 losses. The winning rate is only 38.1 percent. In particular, the club's patience has reached its limit as it has won only three games in the last 11 league games and has been pushed to sixth place due to the draw against Leeds. Amorim's 14 months in office is the shortest record for a full-time coach since David Moyes in 2014.

Even according to the statistics media 'Opta', Amorim recorded the worst winning rate (32%) in the EPL among Manchester United coaches, the most runs per game (1.53), and the lowest scoreless probability (15%).

Internally, there was even a conflict over tactical issues. Since taking office, Amorim has insisted on his philosophy of the three-back system, but technicians, including chief scout Christopher Wiebel, have strongly called for a transition to the four-back system.

According to a "BBC" report, Viebel criticized Amorim's tactics as overly predictable and insisted on the urgency of tactical change. Amorim won against Newcastle United on Boxing Day with a four-back performance, but returned to three-back, drawing complaints from the leadership. In addition, he has reportedly maintained a serious tension with director Jason Wilcox over his transfer market strategy.

Last season, Manchester United ranked 15th, its worst performance since the launch of the Premier League, and suffered the humiliation of earning the lowest points since relegation in the 1973-1974 season. Manager Amorim made it to the Europa League final in May, but he struggled in the league.

"Differences over transfer market strategies and tactical approaches have led to a power struggle, and Amorim lost the fight and the early morning dismissal was decided," said Fabrizio Romano.
