Van Nistelrooy, “a Manchester United legend from now on”, leaves with 3 wins and 1 draw…Amorim takes over → Ends role as acting manager[공식발표]

In the end, it’s goodbye. Ruud Van Nistelrooy has left Manchester United after completing his role as interim manager.

Manchester United released an official statement on the 12th (Korean time), saying, “Vanistelrooy and the coaching staff are leaving the club. Van Nistelrooy rejoined this summer and led the team as interim manager for the last four games.”

“Van Nistelrooy is and will always be a Manchester United legend. We are grateful for his contribution and the way he has approached his role during his time at the club. He will always be very welcome at Old Trafford,” United said in a statement.

This is the existing coaching staff leaving room for the newly appointed coach Hubeng Amorim and his division. Manchester United said: “Coaches René Haque, Zele ten Luwelar and Peter Morel have also left. We wish them all the best in the future. We will confirm the full first-team coaching lineup in due course.”

Coach Amorim has already arrived at Manchester United. Manchester United said: “New manager Amorim arrived at Carrington training ground on Monday afternoon. He boarded a flight to Manchester from Portugal’s Beja Airport just hours after beating Braga 4-2 in his last game in charge of his former club Sporting.” He announced.

“Amorim also hugged CEO Omar Berrada and was welcomed by sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox. Once his visa is issued, he will meet key staff before starting work.” “I have 13 days to prepare for my Manchester United debut. The Premier League match against Ipswich Town at the weekend will be my first match for Manchester United,” he added.

Van Nistelrooy was a legendary striker for Manchester United during his career. He played for five years in Manchester United uniform from 2001 to 2006, scoring 150 goals in 219 games. Park Ji-sung also ate together for one season.

Afterwards, Van Nistelrooy joined Real Madrid after a feud with Sir Alex Ferguson, who was leading Manchester United. He moved to Hamburg in 2010 and spent his later years working with Son Heung-min, who was a teenage prospect at the time. It is known that Van Nistelrooy took care of Son Heung-min and served as a mentor.

After retirement, he quickly transformed into a leader. Van Nistelrooy began his coaching career as the youth team coach of his former team, PSV Eindhoven, in 2016, and took over as Eindhoven’s official coach in 2022. He attracted attention since his first season, finishing runner-up in the Eredivisie and winning the KNVB Cup.

However, Van Nistelrooy and Eindhoven’s partnership did not last long. He resigned from his position in May after conflict with the club over player issues. Afterwards, he received a love call from manager Eric ten Haag and was appointed as the head coach of Manchester United. It was his return 18 years after leaving Manchester United in 2006.

Van Nistelrooy even briefly took charge of Manchester United. After coach Ten Haag was sacked last month, he took over as acting coach temporarily.

This is Van Nistelroo, who has performed better than expected over the course of four games. Starting with a 5-2 win over Leicester City in the League Cup, Manchester United went on an undefeated streak of 4 games with 3 wins and 1 draw. In the Premier League, they recorded a 1-1 draw against Chelsea and a 3-0 win over Leicester, and also recorded their first win in the competition by defeating PAOK 2-0 in the UEFA Europa League (UEL).

However, Van Nistelrooy left Manchester United again with the arrival of coach Amorim. After finishing the last game, he walked around Old Trafford and said goodbye to the fans. “It was a short but amazing time,” said Van Nistelrooy. “It was a lot of fun. We were in an uncertain position, but we did our job and tried to help the club. It was a special moment to see the fans come out and support the team even in a difficult moment.” revealed.

Van Nistelrooy dreams of returning to Manchester United as an official manager in the future. “I want to be manager of Manchester United one day, of course,” he said. “I thought about this carefully when I decided to take up the role as head coach. I knew that coming to Manchester United was a special opportunity for me. In my role as coach, I have been able to guide the club on this journey. “I felt like I wanted to participate,” he said, promising the following.
