The club dismissed the 40-year-old Portuguese coach on Monday after a 1-1 draw at Leeds left United sixth in the Premier League, with only 13 points from their last nine games against mid-table teams. Tensions had built over his rigid 3-4-3 tactics, transfer clashes with director Jason Wilcox, and poor results despite £200 million in spending, including last season's record-low 15th place finish. Darren Fletcher steps in as interim coach for Wednesday's game at Burnley, as fans react with a mix of celebration over the 'stubborn' exit and regret amid ongoing instability.
