Manchester United officially announced that Amorim will start coaching on Double 11, and his position is different from Ten Hag's! The coaching team reveals the secrets

Manchester United officially announced on Friday that 39-year-old Ruben Amorim will take charge of the team. This is the club's sixth official head coach since his retirement, although his title is slightly different from that of his predecessor, Ten Hag. Amorim is a "head coach", not a traditional manager.

According to CBS's Ben Jacobs, Amorim is the first official manager in Manchester United's history, and he will not have the right to veto transfers, which is the biggest difference from Ten Hag, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and others, and also reflects the change in Manchester United's football management structure. Now, director of football Dan Ashworth will be in full charge of the transfer deal.

Under the new structure, the manager can make a request to strengthen a position and make his own recommendations, Ashworth and the transfer team will list the candidates based on the scouts, and then the coach can make a selection of the target players and the transfer department will try to bring them in.

Manchester United will need to pay Amorim a €11 million release fee to Sporting, which will be followed by a two-and-a-half-year contract with a new right of first refusal and an annual salary of €7.7 million.

According to United's official announcement, Amorim will take up his role on 11 November, after which Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue to take on his role as interim manager and play three more games, including Chelsea in the Premier League, Theokssaloniki in the Europa League and Leicester City in the Premier League, all at Old Trafford.

It is reported that Ruud van Nistelrooy wants to stay at Manchester United, but Amorim will bring his own coaching team. He said on Thursday: "I think all managers need a good team and I don't want to go into too many details. That's one of the reasons I've always wanted to stay here, for the sake of my colleagues. So, I'm going to bring my coaching staff, and we've been together since Casa Pia."

Casa Pia, is the lower Lisbon team where Amorim started his career. Amorim's number one aide is Carlos Fernandes, a 29-year-old assistant coach. The latter has been following Amorim since he started coaching. Fernandes never played professionally and became a coach as a teenager. At the age of 23, Fernández conquered the other side by working for Amorim for free in Casa Pia.

According to Portuguese media rumors, Amorim sat in a café with Fernandes to discuss tactics long before his first independent coaching. Amorim even compared him to his mentor Jose Mourinho: "My assistant Carlos, he has been my right-hand man since day one. He's going to be a much better coach than I am, and I always say that if I become Bobby Robson, then he's going to be my Mourinho!"

Amorim's other assistant coach, Adelio Candido, is even younger, only 28 years old! He has also worked with Amorim since his time at Casa Pia, when Candido was the youth team coach. Born in Candido, Angola, he holds a degree in Physical Education from the University of Lisbon.

During the game, Candido is usually in charge of watching the game from the stands, communicating with the dugout through the intercom to provide a different perspective perspective. Because he is the youngest, he is the bridge between the coaching staff and the players, and his personality is said to be quite "funny". In training, Candido is mainly responsible for set-pieces, an area that Amorim rarely sets foot in.

Another Amorim coach, Emanuel Ferro, is also experienced in set-piece training. The 45-year-old coach, who holds a degree in sports science and a master's degree in high-performance training from the Technical University of Lisbon, has been teaching since 2001 and has worked for Benfica Juniors, Malaysia and Tunisia.

Ferro is not a descendant of Amorim, but was promoted from the youth team by his former Sporting coach Jorge Silas, but Amorim opted to keep him after taking charge. Ferro has also worked with Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes and Ugarte, which will help him in Carrington.

Jorge Vital, 63, is a goalkeeper coach who played for Sporting Portugal as a player. He started working with Amorim in Braga and then went to Sporting Portugal together. Vital is the best at improving the pace of his goalkeeper, which may help Andre Onana improve.

Sports scientist Paulo Barreira, who has played for Liverpool and Arsenal in the past, was born in Guimaraes, Portugal, but completed his PhD in Sports Medicine at Liverpool John Mures University. He started his career in volleyball and only ventured into professional football in 2004. He joined Liverpool in 2011 and worked there for three years, with former Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leva describing Barella as "one of the best physiotherapists". He joined Arsenal in 2020 before moving to Amorim's Portuguese side. Manchester United fans will be hoping that the team doctor from a bitter rival can change the problem of the Ten Hag era full of injuries.
