Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim reportedly considered quitting just two months into the job, after a rocky start left him frustrated and under pressure. The Portuguese coach took over from Erik ten Hag in November 2024, stepping into a role loaded with high expectations. But after managing just one win in his first eight games, things quickly turned sour.

According to sources, Amorim was so disappointed after a 3-1 loss to Brighton at Old Trafford that he was ready to resign in January. It reportedly took some serious convincing from close associates to stop him from walking away. While he decided to stay, the team’s form hasn’t improved much. United have suffered 13 defeats in 25 Premier League matches, and Amorim is said to be “deeply embarrassed” by the results.

Despite the struggles, there’s still hope. He has led the team to the Europa League final, where they’ll face Tottenham Hotspur. Winning it could secure both a trophy and a spot in next season’s Champions League. Earlier this year, club leaders including CEO Omar Berrada had to step in and reassure Amorim of their support, encouraging him to keep pushing through the tough period.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed he’ll be stepping away from football for a long break once his time at the club ends. The 54-year-old, who has led City to 18 trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League win, says he plans to prioritise his health after years in the dugout.

Guardiola, who joined the club in 2016, revealed in an interview with GQ Spain that taking a break is not just an idea, but a firm decision. “I’m definitely going to stop after this chapter with City,” he said. “It’s already decided. I just don’t know how long—maybe a year, maybe five, maybe even more. But I need time to take care of myself.” His current contract runs until 2027.
