Man utd announce departure of key member of backroom staff in surprise exit

MANCHESTER UNITED MANAGER RUBEN AMORIM HAS BECOME MAKING CHANGES TO HIS BACKROOM COACHING STAFF FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF A DREADFUL SEASON AND THE FIRST DEPARTURE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED

15:49, 31 May 2025Updated 15:50, 31 May 2025 Manchester United set piece coach Andreas Georgson has left the club following the conclusion of a miserable campaign. Georgson only arrived at

United last summer from Norwegian club Lillestrom, but has now announced his swift exit after the club finished 15th in the Premier League. He joined the club when Erik ten Hag was in charge

and had the blessing of technical director Jason Wilcox. Georgson survived the cull of coaching staff that followed when Ruben Amorim arrived in November, bringing with him a whole host of

coaches from Sporting Lisbon. Having originally arrived in England to work with Arsenal's set piece coach Nicolas Jover while he was working at Brentford, the Swede has also worked at

Arsenal and Southampton. The 43-year-old’s specialism is in set pieces and throw-ins, but it is understood that his role at United was watered down by Amorim and he has chosen to move on.

deal - 'Snap their hands off' "It has been a fantastic experience serving as first-team coach at Manchester United,” he said. "I will always be proud of my association

with such a great football club. This period of my career has now come to an end as I leave to find a new challenge elsewhere. "While excited about the opportunities ahead, I am sad to

be leaving so many great colleagues and friends at Carrington, who make Manchester United truly special. Even during such a tough season, the professionalism and dedication of the players

and staff never wavered, and I know there will be better times ahead." Article continues below Wilcox said: "Andreas has been a valued member of our men’s first-team coaching

set-up over the past year, and we are grateful for his significant contribution. He leaves with our thanks and best wishes for the next stage of his career." _HAVE YOUR SAY! WHAT

CHANGES ARE NEEDED AT MANCHESTER UNITED THIS SUMMER? COMMENT BELOW._ The arrival of Amorim after Ten Hag was sacked in October saw Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar, Pieter Morel and Ruud van

Nistelrooy leave. Amorim brought with him assistants Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido and Emanuel Ferro, goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital and sports scientist Paulo Barreira, but Georgson stayed

on, partly due to his connection with Wilcox, who worked with him at Southampton. Explaining his role to Swedish outlet Skanesport, he said: “I am responsible for fixed situations,

individual development and [to] drive the work with our identity as a team together with the head coach. My first special competence is set pieces and throw-ins and that is also what we have

prioritised during the first period. That's where I have a unique knowledge bank and a unique method, which has worked in all clubs. “Over time, we have also laid the foundations for

the individual development programme and our identity as a team, and slowly I have also started those processes, which is very fun. Few think it's fun to practice, but everyone knows

that a third of goals are scored on set pieces. I have to be clear to the players. 'Less is more' is often true. Article continues below “I'd rather practice fixed situations

with full attention for ten minutes than for two hours without commitment, these are details that can statistically decide five table positions up or down.” Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp
