Amorim and the €91.1 Million Cost of the Post-Ferguson Era at Manchester United

Ruben Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United, failing to restore the team to its former glory after the Sir Alex Ferguson era. The club has spent a total of €91.1 million in manager compensation since 2013, with Jose Mourinho receiving the largest share (€22.6 million). Amorim had a contract until 2027 and will receive €11 million in compensation. During his tenure, the team achieved 24 wins, 18 draws, and 21 losses in 63 matches. Manchester United currently sits in sixth place in the Premier League with 31 points. Ferguson's departure has proven particularly costly for the club, both financially and competitively.
