Manchester United gave Ten Hag almost 3 seasons to prove himself. The same will happen with Amorim. But, will United give Amorim the big funds that Ten Hag got to shop for players?
The problem with United giving this much time to bad coaches is because Sir Alex Ferguson didn't started with a title on the first year, and then became a legend if I remember correctly. I mean I do remember the part of him becoming legend correctly lol, I am just not sure if he started not so great, I think he didn't. That is why they think if they give coaches some good time, the coach can turn it around as well.
Plus, Erik Ten Hag got two cups, one of them is FA cup last year over City, so there was moments of brilliance by them as well, not like they were shocked to get this. This is why we need to remember ETH wasn't a good coach this year and he didn't improve a single bit, but he did had some good times there.
It's not a good practice for a club to judge a coach based on just one season. For example, Sir Alex Ferguson didn’t have a great first year in charge of Manchester United, but he went on to become a club legend. However, that doesn't mean Manchester United gives every coach an extended period or time to underperform. Ole and Mourinho weren’t given a lot of time to develop Manchester United.
I don’t believe Erik ten Hag was entirely a bad coach, he led the team to an FA Cup victory over our arch-rivals Manchester City and delivered the EFL Cup the previous year. However, I think it was his constant issues with players that ultimately cost him his job, rather than a lack of coaching ability.
