"Man United Have Found the Best Coach in the World" - Ex Madrid Man Makes Claim About Ruben Amorim

Former Real Madrid left-back Fabio Coentrao has lavished praise on new Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim, describing him as the "best manager in the world, by far", according to Sportskeeda. Coentrao's glowing endorsement stems from their shared experiences playing for Benfica and the Portuguese national team.

Speaking at an event, Coentrao expressed his delight at Amorim's appointment at Old Trafford, saying: "Sporting have lost a very important player, but I am happy for Ruben. He deserves this and much more. Manchester United have found the best manager in the world… by far."

Coentrao's praise is significant, given his personal connection with Amorim. The pair played 57 matches together for club and country, providing valuable insight into Amorim's character and abilities.

Amorim's managerial credentials support Coentrao's claim. The 39-year-old achieved remarkable success with Sporting, winning two Portuguese league titles and leaving the club top of the standings this season. His ability to adapt and replicate this success at Manchester United will be crucial in revitalizing the Red Devils.

Manchester United's decision to appoint Amorim follows the sacking of Erik ten Hag in late October. The Dutchman's tenure was marked by a poor start to the campaign, leaving the team 13th in the Premier League. Amorim faces a daunting task in turning the club's fortunes around, but Coentrao's endorsement suggests he has the necessary skills.

Amorim's influence is already being felt, with speculation surrounding potential transfers. Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres, who has scored 23 goals in 18 matches, has drawn interest from top European clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal. Amorim has hinted that Gyokeres will remain at Sporting until the end of the season, potentially opening up a summer move to Old Trafford.
