"I came here to be the manager of Manchester United not to be the coach of Manchester United. That is clear. I know my name is not [Thomas] Tuchel, it's not [Antonio] Conte, it's not [Jose] Mourinho, but I am the manager of Manchester United and it's going to be like this for 18 months or when the board decide to change. That was my point [on Friday] and I want to finish with that. I'm not going to quit."
"He continued: I just want to say that I am going to be the MANAGER of this team, not just the coach and I was really clear on that. And that is going to finish in 18 months and then everyone is going to move on. That was the deal, that is my job not to be a coach. Amorim went further, taking aim at the club's recruitment structure and the selective information being leaked to the press."
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Leeds United and manager Ruben Amorim used the post-match press conference to assert his authority and future at the club. Amorim rejected the head coach label and insisted he was appointed to be the club's manager, stating he will remain in the role for 18 months or until the board decide otherwise. He vowed not to quit and pledged to continue until a replacement arrives. Amorim criticized the club's recruitment structure, accused selective information leaks to the press, questioned the relationship with Director of Football Jason Wilcox and the scouting department, and signaled he will stick to his preferred formation amid January transfer-window tensions.
