Ruben Amorim has admitted he made mistakes during his spell as Manchester United manager, insisting the experience taught him a great deal as he prepares for a new challenge at AC Milan.<\/p>\n
Speaking at his first press conference since taking charge of the Serie A club, Amorim acknowledged that his 14-month run in the Premier League went wrong in several areas, culminating in United ending their partnership with him in January.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to spell out the errors because to do that I\u2019d need to go through the full background of that period,\u201d Amorim said. \u201cIt\u2019s not possible to list every mistake one by one. What I can say is that I learned a lot and I made some mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t get the chance, and I\u2019m sorry for that, to speak directly to the Manchester United supporters. I\u2019m truly proud to have been their coach for a year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this is a new chapter now. There are many things I could have done better during the last experience, yet sometimes that\u2019s how it is. You have to learn how to find the right place to take the next step, and that\u2019s the mindset I\u2019m bringing here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amorim was appointed United boss in November 2024 following Erik ten Hag\u2019s dismissal, but he was unable to reverse the club\u2019s fortunes. United finished 15th in the Premier League, and they also suffered defeat in the Europa League final against Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Even though they were sixth at the time of his departure, Amorim continued to attract criticism, particularly over his 3-4-3 tactical approach and what some viewed as a reluctance to give academy players enough opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone learns from their experience,\u201d the 41-year-old Portuguese coach said. \u201cI learned a lot. I made some mistakes. There are things I will try to change, and there are also things you never change. Still, I believe I will be a better coach.\u201d<\/p>\n
Across 63 games in charge of United, Amorim recorded 25 wins and 23 defeats. In the Premier League specifically, he won 15 of 47 matches, with a points-per-game figure of 1.23\u2014United\u2019s lowest average for a manager in the Premier League era.<\/p>\n
Amorim has now agreed a three-year contract to succeed Massimiliano Allegri as Milan\u2019s head coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
