One year out of work! The 60-year-old coach wants to coach Manchester United: If Amorin is dismissed, he will have a chance

Manchester United coach Amorim is under tremendous pressure. After coaching Manchester United for one year, Amorim still has not put Manchester United on the right track. On October 17, the British "Sun" exclusively broke the news that another famous coach is eyeing the position of Manchester United coach: 60-year-old former Inter Milan, Manchester City, and Italy coach Mancini believes that he has a chance to serve as Manchester United coach.

In the 2025-26 Premier League season, Manchester United scored 10 points in 7 games and ranked 10th. This weekend, Manchester United will challenge Liverpool away in the Premier League. For Amorim, this is another big test. Will Sir Ratcliffe sack Amorim if Manchester United lose to Liverpool?

"The Sun" revealed that the 60-year-old Mancini is eyeing the position of Manchester United coach. Mancini told his friends that he might be one of the favorites to succeed Amorim if he were to leave get out of class.

Mancini has a rich coaching resume and has served as the coach of Florence, Lazio, Inter Milan, Manchester City, Galatasaray, Inter Milan, Zenit, Italy, and Saudi Arabia. After coaching Manchester City for three and a half years, Mancini led the team in 191 games with 113 wins, 38 draws and 40 losses, and won 1 Premier League, 1 FA Cup, and 1 Community Shield championship. When he became the coach of Italy, Mancini led the team to win the 2021 European Cup.

The 60-year-old Mancini is currently unemployed at home. His last job was coaching Saudi Arabia. He took a year off after being fired in October last year. Mancini admitted that he misses coaching very much and misses the football field every day.

However, "The Sun" also pointed out that it is difficult for the outside world to imagine Mancini coaching Manchester United.

Mancini coached Manchester City for three and a half years and had a tense relationship with Manchester United. Especially during Manchester United's away game against Manchester City in the 2011-12 Premier League season, a conflict broke out between Ferguson and Mancini. Ferguson mocked Manchester City as a "noisy neighbor" and Mancini responded with a gesture. This has become one of the most classic scenes in the Premier League.

If Manchester United hires Mancini to coach, it will inevitably cause controversy. "The Sun" pointed out that the reason why Mancini was confident in competing for the Manchester United coach was because he had met with Sir Ratcliffe many times, which triggered speculation from the outside world. Of course, Mancini is not the only rumored candidate for the new coach. Southgate and Glasner have both been contacted by Manchester United.
