My Take
Ruben Amorim is one of those coaches who makes you genuinely excited about the future of a club, which is no small feat when that club is Manchester United in 2024. He built Sporting CP into a legitimate force with a distinctive 3-4-3 shape and an intensity that felt fresh and purposeful, and when United came calling, the football world sat up and paid attention. He was only in his late thirties when he took over Old Trafford, which tells you everything about how rapidly he earned his reputation in Portugal. I love that he's unafraid to be direct — he rarely hedges in press conferences — and that he clearly has a real tactical identity rather than just copying whatever was fashionable. The rebuild ahead of him is enormous, but if anyone can make it interesting to watch, it's him.
