Manchester United officially appoints Ruben Amorim as new head coach

Manchester United officially appoints Ruben Amorim as new head coach. The Portuguese manager, who previously led Sporting Lisbon to two Primeira Liga titles, has signed a contract that runs until June 2027, with an option for an additional year. Amorim will join the club on November 11, pending work visa approval. Until Amorim’s arrival, Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue to lead the team on an interim basis. This appointment follows the dismissal of Erik ten Hag after a disappointing start to the season, leaving Manchester United in 14th place in the Premier League. Amorim is regarded as one of the most promising young coaches in European football, and his arrival is expected to bring a fresh perspective and renewed energy to the team. His tactical acumen and ability to develop young talent have been key factors in his success at Sporting Lisbon, where he transformed the team into a formidable force in Portuguese football. Manchester United fans are hopeful that Amorim’s appointment will mark the beginning of a new era for the club. The team has struggled to find consistency in recent years, and the board is confident that Amorim’s innovative approach and leadership skills will help restore the club to its former glory. Amorim’s first task will be to stabilize the team’s performance and improve their standing in the Premier League. With a talented squad at his disposal, including stars like Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, he has the potential to turn things around quickly. The club’s supporters are eagerly anticipating his debut and are optimistic about the future under his guidance….

Gendarmes Mistake Motorcycle Noise for Gunfire, Resulting in Civilian Death in Bamenda

In a tragic incident in Nkwen, Bamenda, gendarmes mistakenly opened fire after confusing the sound of a modified motorcycle for gunfire. This occurred at Mile 4 Junction around 8 PM on October 27, 2024. The gunfire resulted in the immediate death of a civilian and left another person injured. The confusion arose when a motorcycle with a customized sound repeatedly passed through the area, making loud noises that resembled gunfire. A local food vendor at the scene recounted that the bike rider had modified the sound of his motorcycle to mimic gunshots, which led to the gendarmes’ reaction. This incident has raised concerns about the safety of civilians amid heightened security measures in Bamenda. It also highlights the challenges faced by security forces in distinguishing between real threats and false alarms, especially in regions affected by conflict.
