Ruben Amorim Admits He’s Fighting to Keep His Job at Man United
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that he is fighting to keep his job as the season enters its crucial second half.
Since taking over in November, the former Sporting CP coach has struggled to turn things around, losing seven of his 13 Premier League games, including five defeats at Old Trafford.
Speaking at a press conference, the 40-year-old acknowledged the risks involved, especially with United’s approach in the January transfer window, where they made no major signings.
“We are fighting for our jobs until the summer,” Amorim said, admitting that stepping into a struggling team mid-season without reinforcements was always going to be a gamble.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
