"It has been suggested that Amorim earns around 6.5m, and had a little under 18 months to run on the contract signed upon his appointment in November 2024. Dr. Rob Wilson, Director of Executive Education at University Campus of Football Business in London, believes it will cost United another 12m to sack Amorim, not including compensation due to his backroom staff."
"Amorim was relieved of his duties on Monday morning following a breakdown in his relationship with members of the United board. United are looking for another new manager, just 14 months after paying 11million in compensation to Sporting to hire Amorim for his release, plus a reported additional 10.4m for sacking predecessor Erik ten Hag. And then the hiring of a new permanent manager, which may not be until the summer, could see costs rise to 50m."
Ruben Amorim was relieved of his duties after a breakdown in his relationship with members of the United board. United are searching for a new manager just 14 months after paying 11million in compensation to Sporting for Amorim’s release and reportedly 10.4m to sack Erik ten Hag. Amorim reportedly earns around 6.5m and had a little under 18 months remaining on a contract signed in November 2024. Dr. Rob Wilson estimates a further 12m would be required to sack Amorim, excluding compensation for his backroom staff. Hiring a permanent replacement could push total costs to 50m. Amorim’s wages were lower than other Premier League managers, possibly due to the release fee. A 50m bill would be especially unwelcome amid club redundancies.
