Goodbye Amorim Signs to Replace Manchester United, Open Penalty for 4 Candidates for the sole Next Coach Is 22.6 Billion



Manchester United's next coach candidate has already been selected.

The British Daily Mail said on the 16th (Korea Standard Time) that it is an exclusive report, adding that Manchester United will have to pay 12 million pounds (about 22.6 billion won) if it replaces Coach Hoobeng Amorim within the first year of signing at Old Trafford. 'The club's leaders still support Amorim and remain unfazed despite his worst league start in 33 years' and reported that United would face a huge penalty if Amorim were replaced right now.

The media reportedly said the 40-year-old would pocket £12m if Amorim were to be replaced before Manchester United's first anniversary (less than seven weeks away) and his coaching staff would also receive compensation. Amorim said in May that he would leave without compensation if the club decided he was no longer the right person, but it is unlikely to actually do so. Manchester United are not able to afford the sixth manager's penalty since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. The club's financial difficulties are expected to be revealed in its annual accounting report due to be released this Wednesday.

It is difficult to replace Amorim immediately due to financial problems, but Manchester United is preparing for the case of replacing Amorim. Candidates for the next coach have already been revealed. The Daily Mail released four candidates saying that if Amorim leaves, the early candidates include Fulham's Marco Silva, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, Aston Villa's Unai Emery and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola.




In fact, Manchester United fans do not think they will like the four candidates right now, but Amorim is in crisis to the point where there are voices calling for bringing in any coach rather than Amorim, who has shown the worst performance since World War II. If the performance does not rebound, the replacement is expected to be inevitable.

Concerns about manager Amorim are growing inside Manchester United. First of all, it's tactical stubbornness. Amorim insists on a three-back tactic at Manchester United that led him to success in Sporting Lisbon. It is clear that Manchester United's midfield is a weakness compared to other big clubs, but manager Amorim has no intention of changing the 300 formation. There are reports that Amorim's stubbornness is eventually causing doubts among the players.

Another problem is the attitude on the field. The Daily Mail says there have been concerns that some players have lost confidence in Amorim's coaching style since the Manchester derby defeat, with another problem pointed out. According to officials close to the first team, Amorim appears to be 'hiding' in difficult situations during the game and does not do enough to inspire players in the technical area. Some point out that his overall bench atmosphere and gestures are worrisome. He mentioned that Amorim is showing signs of contraction on the field. It seems to be an analysis that he has lost a lot of confidence.
