Every Man Utd interim manager

Every Man Utd interim manager

Manchester United’s 29th permanent or temporary boss – and first head coach – was announced in November 2023, handing the reins to emerging Portuguese sensation Ruben Amorim.

His appointment followed the up and down tenure of Erik ten Hag which at times promised so much but in the end delivered two domestic trophies amid a change in ownership and a raft of pre-existing problems.

United’s roll call of managers stretches over 130 years, dating back to the club’s formative years as Newton Heath in the 1880s – a time when management was secretarial and team selection was by committee. Nine of those managers have come in rapid succession since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.

Along the way, United have had six interim or caretaker managers put in charge – put in place to try and allow for the most seamless transition possible to a new dawn.
