EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL: COACH AMORIM GETS PROTECTION TO KEEP HIS SEAT, SON HUENG MIN WAITS FOR HISTORIC MOMENT
Coach Amorim‘s future at MU is guaranteed before the Europa League final, while coaches Postecoglou and Son Heung Min believe in their historic mission with Tottenham.
Amorim’s future at MU is guaranteed, tired of answering interviews
Ahead of the Europa League final against Tottenham (2am, May 22), there are still rumors that coach Ruben Amorim could lose his job if he loses the match and MU will hire someone else. However, that is just a rumor, and the Portuguese coach can think about his plans for next season.
COACH RUBEN AMORIM
The Guardian said that Amorim was always guaranteed his future by INEOS this season, simply because they would not be able to afford the compensation. And MU’s plan for next season will still be Amorim in the coaching chair, along with players that the team considers suitable for his vision. If MU loses the final, Amorim will not be affected at all.
INEOS has many plans for MU this summer and The Guardian said they will try their best to bring Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap for Amorim to use. But the team’s finances are still quite bad, MU even only gives the players 2 tickets each for relatives to watch the Europa League final, while the staff get nothing. Coach Amorim recently personally paid for the tickets for all MU staff.
Amorim is trying to focus on preparing for the upcoming final. He has been feeling tired lately due to a number of worries, and has also been given a number of interviews as required by his Premier League contract, with nearly 500 since the start of the season.
POSTECOGLOU AND SON HEUNG-MIN AWAIT TOTTENHAM’S HISTORIC MOMENT
Despite the uncertainty over his future, coach Ange Postecoglou remains optimistic ahead of the final. He has said that he always wins something in his second season at a club, and he remains confident he can do the same at Tottenham.
“A lot of the successes I’ve had at clubs I’ve had have come after years of nothing. Yokohama hadn’t won a title in 14 years, Australia hadn’t won a continental title. Brisbane Roar hadn’t won a title before I arrived. South Melbourne hadn’t won a title in seven years before I took over. Celtic had won a year, and that’s a long time for them,” Postecoglou said.

“Look at the historical context of this club and what they have been through over the past 20 years. I feel that this could be a turning point in how the club is perceived, and how they perceive themselves. Until you do that, no matter what else you achieve, people will say you haven’t achieved anything. In football and life in general, those are the important things when people judge your position.”
Meanwhile, captain Son Heung Min expressed his eagerness to wait for the final at San Mames. He knows that he is having a bad season, but he is still trying to stay in the title race.
“The biggest reason I stayed at Tottenham was because I wanted to do something no one else could do. I wanted to be the captain of the first Tottenham team to win a trophy in nearly 20 years. I couldn’t do it alone, it needed all the right pieces to achieve my dream,” he said.
