Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has introduced a new coaching structure that emphasizes specialized training for different positional groups, signaling a significant departure from the methods employed by his predecessor, Erik ten Hag. According to *The Telegraph*, Amorim aims to address United’s difficult start to the season by implementing a more focused and tailored approach to player development.
To support this strategy, Amorim has brought in key members of his trusted coaching team. This includes assistant head coach Carlos Fernandes, goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital, physical performance coach Paulo Barreira, and first-team coaches Adelio Candido and Emanuel Ferro. The club has also decided to retain existing staff, such as Darren Fletcher, Andreas Georgson, and assistant goalkeeper coach Craig Mawson, ensuring continuity while integrating new ideas.
Under Amorim’s system, responsibilities are divided among coaches who specialize in working with specific positions—defenders, midfielders, and attackers—allowing for more targeted and efficient training sessions. Rather than holding traditional full-squad practices led by the head coach, training will primarily occur in smaller, specialized groups to address the unique needs of each position. Full-team sessions will only be conducted when necessary, marking a significant shift in the club’s approach to preparation and tactical development.
