David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Erik Ten The Hague - since when the big ser Alex Ferguson bid farewell to Manchester United with the 13th title, at "Old Trafford" dreams are made of his true successor.
The mentioned five (with a permanent contract) was not that, not even far from it, and from today all eyes are turned to the sixth expert from the legendary gentleman from Aberdeen.
A new era of greats starts from "Portman Road" and will mark the debut Rubena Amorima (17.30) in a duel with Ispvič.
- I think that I have arrived where I should have, history is felt at every step and I am really happy that I became United's coach - said Amorim.
Excited, but it was also because of Ten Hag
Everything that Amorim has done so far in his short coaching career was practically perfect, ending with the victory over Manchester City (4:1) in the last match on the bench of Sporting Lisbon.
The Premier League, however, is something else, and many on the Island believe that Ipswich away is the ideal rival to immediately find out if the Portuguese is ready for the strongest league in the world.
- I think it's really a real challenge for Amor in the first game - a perfect way to enter the Premier League. Ipswich is waiting for them, a team you expect to win, but in fact it is a very good team - he pointed out Joe Cole, a former England national team player who today works as a consultant for TNT Sports.
United fans are expected to be excited after Ten Haag left the team in 13th place, with just four wins in the previous 11 rounds.
- We mentioned it before when it was certain who would be the new coach of United - everything you hear these days about Amorim we also heard when Ten Haag arrived. Time will tell everything, but for now this guy has charisma, and that's something that goes with the club from Manchester - added Cole.
How will the 3-4-3 work?
Amorim's trademark at Sporting was the 3-4-3 formation, and according to the first training sessions, it seems that he will not abandon it in the Premier League either.
What can that his real problem is that at the moment there are practically no three stoppers for this formation as they are injured Harry McGuire, Victor Lindelof i Lisandro Martinez, so the English media expect him to play Matthias de Licht, eternal Johnny Evans and most likely Luke Shaw, because the question is whether it is Leni Joro fully fit after injury.
Diogo Dalot i Nuser Mazraui they become so-called "fullbacks", and it is assumed that Amorim on the right side may launch Antonia, who at Ten Haag was not exactly the happiest when he found himself in a similar situation.
Does not have Kobe Maynu, but the pair of last links will be Casemiro i Manuel Ugarte, and in front of them Bruno Fernandes (although it is also mentioned Mason Mount), Amad Diallo i Rasmus Hojlund. Looks like it Marcus Rashford i Alejandro Garnaco for a start they are not in the game for the starting 11.
The great is at a new beginning, Ruben Amorim as well, and the interesting thing is that he will make his debut on the "Devil's" bench in the same place where the new Liverpool coach did it, Arne Slott. The Dutch specialist won the "Portman road" (2:0) and after that made a great streak that still continues - can a similar story start with the Portuguese and another English giant?
