English Premier League club, Manchester United have sacked boss Ruben Amorim.
The announcement was made on Monday morning hours after Amorim held a stunning news conference following the 1-1 draw with Leeds United in which he urged United bosses to do their jobs.
It was learnt that Amorim’s emotional and inconsistent behaviour was a key factor in the decision and a refusal to adapt and evolve his preferred 3-4-3 system led to a breakdown in confidence in the head coach.
Speaking at a news conference on Friday ahead of the trip to Leeds, the Portuguese coach had revealed his frustration at a lack of movement in the January transfer window.
Also, after the game on Sunday, he went one step further by telling club bosses he wants to be manager, not the coach while also pointedly aiming a dig at Wilcox to “do his job.”
Meanwhile, ex-Man Utd midfielder and current U18s coach Darren Fletcher will take interim charge, with United next in action at Burnley on Wednesday night.
Amorim won 24 of his 63 matches in charge and oversaw just 15 victories in the Premier League.
United is currently on sixth position after eight wins from 20 games this season.
