Who would be your current choice for next manager after Jose Mourinho?

We'd probably go after Zidane to satisfy Woodward's lust for star power and celebrity. Personally I think Jardim, Poch or Fonseca would be options that suggested there was an actual plan in mind.

I'm not Jose out, but if he were to go those 3 would be among my top options. Zidane might be good, I mean you don't fluke your way to 3 CLs in a row, but I would tend to think the process behind picking him would likely be very basic and lack any real logical coherence in terms of a well thought out footballing philosophy.
 
Is it just me or is that poll list kind of depressing? Voted Poch and think Tuchel and maybe Jardim could be interesting options but there's not a lot of names to get excited about there.

This man is the right man.

But it will never happen.
 
Next manager will have the same issues with all the click bait media lies. Fans need to get a hold on this sooner rather than later.
 
Jardim. Attack minded coach with a top track record of developing younger players and without using a big budget. Already has experience in the CL and won things domestically.

I‘ve read his contract is up at the end of the year. Any chance he comes to Europe next?

:drool: for me.

Though I'm not sure it's the kind of football a lot of United fans are going to want to see as it is very possession-based and patient. But I'm only judging on a 30 second video.
 
People keep saying that Poch hasn't won anything.... blah blah blah

First of all, Spurs are where they are because of the players he unearthed and kinda brought out the best out of them.

Spurs have been cash strapped with the stadium extension and he still managed to get them top 4 for 3 consecutive seasons where the league has been so competitive.

Poch's style is similar to Fergie with the attacking aspect to it.

Poch also prefers to have a British spine like what Fergie did with United. (Kane, Dele Alli, Trippier, Rose, Dier)

Poch drops players if they have not performed... he took a risk by playing Kane ahead of Soldado when Kane came back from loan

He's invested in players with huge potential and is very similar to how Fergie used to build his teams.

I'm not saying that Poch is the next Fergie but I would like to say that Poch's way of playing football and managing the club is in line with the Man Utd philosophy.

Zidane may look good on paper with the 3 back to back Champions League medals but he had a great team especially CR7. Zidane may be great tactically but he hasn't proven to me if he's able to nurture and groom youth.

Poch has nurtured Kane, Deli Alli, Trippier and Dier to be really good players. Harry Winks will also turn out to be a great find.

My vote will go for Poch... The guy does not need to change anything about himself because his way of thinking is in line with the club. I wish our next DoF brings Poch to United.

It's a win-win situation... We'll play attractive football... We won't spend crazy money on players that are on the decline. Poch is someone who will remain at the club for years to come.

So how's the end product any different than what we've seen since SAF? No shots taken in however long that video lasted.

That's embarrassing for the side in possession. At that point you might as well surrender the ball and look to counter.
 
Zidane doesn't know shit about tactics, blah blah blah, still won as many Champions League titles in 3 years as the club in its entire history.

Maybe it's just luck, but as someone once famously said: I'd rather have a lucky general than a very good one.

Paraphrasing a tad.

Of course, and ironically our team is know for being a vertical team with a high pressure, not for keeping the ball. That play is actually an oasis but I love it since it was in a final and the whole team was humilliating flamengo :lol:

Here you can see the real style: a vertical team with a strong use of the wings and the fullbacks.




 
I'd be happy with Zidane. Feck knows how he would do, but I'd be willing to bet he would always encourage an attacking mentality, a never say die attitude like Madrid particularly had under him, and the respect of everyone as he was 10x the player that any of them could dream of being (at United). Plus who doesn't love Zizou?
 
We need a progressive manager who can coach a side to play great attacking football.

The common theme with Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho is that they all have a negative approach. It's time we changed that. I rate Sarri highly but that ships sailed. Pochettino maybe.
 
I think someone like Zidane would be a great fit stylistically with the current squad,the talent is there in my eyes

His man management is impeccable and he would give the players liberty to express themselves regularly.

He would also fit the profile of a United manager as a career winner at every level of the game universally revered in world football.

If Pochettino or Jardim aren't realistic and Zidane is interested,we could do much much worse...

The man basically did everything you'd expect a United manager to do. Played attacking football, stopped the expensive signings, he promoted the kids and brought them to the first team as regulars, was loved by the fans and delivered the ultimate prize in club football while breaking records.
 
Zidane or Jardim for me. Don't like Poch, the man encourages cheating and has a loser's mindset/mentality.
 
Does Zizou speak English?
 
Surprised at how few votes Jardim has. He'd be a risk in some ways, but he definitely fits the bill for what we look for (and what the Caf seems to want).

Pretty sure i've heard him speak it in the odd interview, dont know if its strong or anything.
What i've seen of Jardim has been good. He'd probably be my choice.
 
Thanks.

It is surprising. He would be my number number choice, before Pochettino.

Another surprise is Simeone being second in the running. If large section of the fanbase has issues with Jose's style of football, I don't know how Simeone's style will be palatable to them. It'll lead to the same issues.
 
How comes Jardim isn't getting more votes.. he's my choice. We need a very good attacking coach. Plus he's low keyed, and we won't have to worry about any baggage that comes with him. At this moment, the club needs some peace and quiet, and someone who just wants to get on with the job.

With Zidane, I don't think he's realistic, and I also think he would be good for a well oiled machine - which we are not.
Don't see him wanting to leave Juve at this time.

Levy would rinse us if we tried for Poch. Don't like him anyway, so hopefully we won't be approaching him.

Huh?
Anyway, the realism stems from the reports saying he wants to succeed Mourinho. feck knows what truth there is in it, but it gives hope.

Oh I haven't seen those reports. He's currently working at Juventus as a sort of sporting director I believe.

All that is true but the caveat is he had Ronaldo, Bale, Modric, Kroos, Marcelo, Carvajal, Varane..... And the list goes on. Worlds best full backs / central midfielders and forwards. The point is not to take away from what he did which is phenomenal.

The point is he won't have anywhere near that quality here. How will he do in that scenario? Is he actually a good coach who can get these guys to play better? I'm not sure.

He HASN'T won anything! You can't just dismiss that as though it doesn't matter because if you are being handed the Man Utd job it very much does. I would like to know that the manager we have in place has the tools to get teams over the line when the pressure is on. I was against the appointment of Moyes for that reason. Now Im not putting Pochettino in the same category as Moyes but some of the same questions remain.

He has, by hook or by crook ended up with the best Spurs team of modern times. Yet big bad Jose Mourinho totally outclassed him in an FA Cup Semi Final when Spurs had the initial initiative. Juventus knocked them out of the CL when Spurs had the initiative and in the season where every so-called "big" club had an absolute nightmare Leicester City beat them to the title. When the chips are down, the pressure is on, and there is suddenly a little bit of expectation attached to his teams they have not performed well. That doesn't mean he is a poor manager or couldn't make the step up but it leaves enough questions for it not to simply be dismissed.

While he has been getting all the plaudits for this Spurs team being absolutely amazing and at the same time we have been getting criticism left right and centre the cold reality is that we have won an FA Cup, a Europa League, a League Cup, a Community Shield, been runners up in the league and runners up in the FA Cup. Thats what the terrible Man Utd team have achieved. What has he done with his great team? Once you get past the great football he isn't putting much in the trophy cabinets.
