Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim, former coach of the English club Manchester United, is spending a period of recovery in Doha after his recent dismissal from coaching the “Red Devils.”
Reports indicate that Amorim, 41, has replaced the stress of football with the enthusiasm of tennis, as he was spotted attending a match at the Qatar Open Tennis Championships. This visit comes amid increasing speculation about his coaching future after his “complicated” experience in the English Premier League.
In early January 2026, Manchester United announced the termination of the contract with the Portuguese coach after a period that lasted about 14 months, due to the deterioration of the team’s results and its occupying sixth place in the “Premier League”, with a large difference from the lead. Amorim’s period witnessed disagreements with the management over deals and the technical role, which led to his departure after achieving a winning percentage of only 31.9%, which is considered among the lowest in the history of the club’s coaches.
Amorim is investing in his presence in Doha to escape the pressure of the English media, enjoying the international sporting atmosphere that the city provides, and awaiting what the coming days will produce regarding his training career.
