""I was a bit sad because he's the coach who gave me more visibility and more opportunities to play for Manchester United. "I was very sad. I even sent him a message to thank him for everything he did for me, both in my life and especially in my career. "I wished him good luck wherever he goes. It was a difficult moment for me, but I'm really focused on Ivory Coast and on this competition. I want to finish well here and try to win this AFCON.""
""We had a very good relationship, almost like a father-and-son relationship. He understood me, gave me a lot of advice, and let me play freely. It's very unfortunate, but that's life.""
""It's an absolute rocket!" Watch all of @AmadDiallo_19 's United goals so far, as we mark five years since he arrived at our club - Manchester United (@ManUtd) January 7, 2026"
Ruben Amorim was relieved of his duties as Manchester United head coach after a 1-1 draw with Leeds and apparent criticism of the club hierarchy. Amorim had the worst Premier League records for a United manager in win ratio (32%), goals conceded per game (1.53) and clean sheet ratio (15%). Amad Diallo scored nine goals and provided seven assists in 34 Premier League matches under Amorim, becoming one of the standout performers alongside Bruno Fernandes. Amad, on Ivory Coast duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, said he was very sad, praised Amorim's support and stayed focused on defending the AFCON title.
