Here’s a recent football story from the AP:

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Incoming Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said the English club refused his request to take over at the end of this season, telling him: “It was now or never.”

Amorim will leave Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese champions, to take charge of United on November 11, replacing Erik ten Hag, who was sacked on Monday.

Hours after being confirmed as United’s next manager, Amorim held an emotionally charged press conference after Sporting’s 5-1 win over Estrela da Amadora on Friday. He described the background to what he described as a life-changing decision.

Amorim said he had always planned for this to be his last season at Sporting – he has coached the team since 2020 – and that he “many times” changed his mind about the decision he had to make after United expressed their interest.

“All I asked for was that it be at the end of the season,” Amorim said, “and they said no, that wasn’t possible, it was now or never and otherwise they would look at another option.

“I had three days to make a decision that would radically change my life. And that’s what I did.”

Amorim said United were not the first club to offer to pay the buyout clause in his Sporting contract.

“I had other offers, but I didn’t want them, and I did this one, so I made my decision,” he said.

“People say it was about the money, but there was another team that wanted to hire me before and they paid three times more than Manchester (United).”

Amorim said he had the “best time of my life” at Sporting, where he won the Portuguese league twice in four full seasons, and that he “could feel the anger and disappointment of some fans” during the match against Estrela, in which he once seemed close to tears.

“I understand that they (Sporting fans) are hurt,” he said, “but we have to keep moving forward, time heals all wounds.”

Amorim said he would take his backroom staff at Sporting to United, but vowed not to sign any Sporting players in the January transfer window.

He has not yet spoken to any United players, he said, and declined to talk about United in depth until he joined the team on November 11.

Before then, he will take charge of two more Sporting games: against Manchester City in the Champions League and against Braga in the Portuguese league.

Amorim’s first match with United will take place at Ipswich in the Premier League on November 24.
