Manchester United have revealed the total coset of the recent managerial change at Old Trafford, with it potentially impacting on the January transfer budget.
United confirmed the sacking of Erik ten Hag back in October, following the Premier League loss in July. The decision came just months after the Dutchman put pen to paper on a new contract.
The club’s latest financial report now reveals that it cost a total of £10.4 million to pay off Ten Hag and members of his coaching staff. Ruud van Nistelrooy took charge of four games on an interim basis amid the search for a new head coach, but he was among those to leave following the appointment of Ruben Amorim.
The arrival of the former Sporting CP boss as well as his backroom staff has cost approximately £11 million, according to the report. The Portuguese coach had a €10 million (£8.4m) release clause in his Sporting contract which United triggered, with other costs likely to be on the backroom staff.
It means, in total, the managerial change cost United £21.4 million. Given the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability rules, that could potentially be taken into account when Amorim is given a transfer budget for the upcoming January window.
