"Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox said he wanted to 'interfere', four months before the club dismissed manager Ruben Amorim on Monday."
"I just want to say I came here to be the manager, not to be the coach. I was really clear on that. "That is going to finish [when his contract expires] in 18 months and then everyone is going to move on. That was the deal."
"I'm a coach at heart. I know I'm in a different job now but I'm a coach inside. That's a strength in my role now, but that causes me a bit of a pro"
Jason Wilcox, Manchester United director of football, admitted a desire to interfere in coaching and said he is a coach at heart. Ruben Amorim was reportedly frustrated by Wilcox's reluctance to commit to players suited to Amorim's preferred 3-4-3 system. Wilcox pointed to a 1-0 Boxing Day win against Newcastle, when Amorim used a back four and secured a rare clean sheet, as a template. Amorim said he came to be the manager, not the coach, and his comments about role clarity were highlighted. Amorim was dismissed after a 1-1 draw with Leeds that left the club sixth; Darren Fletcher was named interim manager.
