Ruben Amorim brought five coaching staff from Sporting Lisbon to join him at Manchester United. The move was officially announced by the club through their website.

The five staff are Carlos Fernandes, Jorge Vital, Adelio Candido, Emanuel Ferro, and Paulo Barreira. They will complete the coaching team under the command of the Amorium.

Meanwhile, two first-team coaches from the Erik ten Hag era, including assistant goalkeeping coach Craig Mawson, were retained by the club.

Carlos Fernandes will serve as assistant head coach, continuing his long partnership with Amorism since working with Casa Pia, Braga, and Sporting. Jorge Vital will fill the goalkeeping position.

Adelio Candido and Emanuel Ferro will play first-team coaches, while Paulo Barreira, who previously had experience at Arsenal and Liverpool, will take responsibility as a physical coach.

However, as quoted by Antara, Candido has not been able to join due to visa constraints. A similar situation was also experienced by analyst Eduardo Rosalino, who is expected to only follow after obtaining the type of visa needed.

The appointment of Ruben Amorim as United's new manager to replace Erik ten Hag is in the spotlight because of his reputation as one of the best young coaches in Europe. Amorim scored a major feat in Sporting by winning two Portuguese League titles, including leading the club to win the first league trophy in 19 years in the 2020/2021 season.

This season, Amorim left Sporting with an incredible score, led the Portuguese League standings after recording 11 wins in a row, scoring 39 goals, and conceding only five times.

Prior to the arrival of Amorism, Ruud van Nistelrooy had served as interim coach after Erik ten Hag ended his term last month. During four matches under his leadership, Van Nistelrooy led United to three wins.

The Amorism Debut as Manchester United manager is scheduled to take place on November 24 in the Premier League match against Ipswich Town.
