Ruben Amorim has been sacked as manager of Manchester United after a 14-month reign, the club announced on Monday. The decision was made to give the team the "best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish." Amorim's tenure ended after a disappointing run of results, and he is the seventh permanent boss since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. In other coaching news, Chelsea Football Club has appointed Liam Rosenior, 41, as their new head coach. Rosenior, previously managing Strasbourg, succeeds Enzo Maresca. He joins the club on a six-and-a-half-year deal.
