Pep Guardiola expressed sympathy over Ruben Amorim’s dismissal from Manchester United, praising the Portuguese coach as a “top manager.”

Yes, it's a fact that managers get less and less time – just like what happened with Enzo [Maresca]

Pep Guardiola

I can't say anything out of respect for the players. Like Enzo, he is a top manager. The decision was made by our neighbours and I wish him all the best for the future.

Amorim was dismissed after 14 months in charge. The news came the day after he demanded a greater role in transfers and team selection, insisting that he was a manager, not just a head coach.
