Appearances aside, they're very different players.
Kieran McKenna as our next assistant manager| Simon Stone confirms the promotion
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
Has Michael Ballack been considered?
Agreed but I think Lukaku could learn a lot from Drogba about big game mentality and his hold up play.
Zlatan when he’s done with LA Galaxy?
Leading Kilmarnock from bottom of the table to finish fifth in SPL as I heard. Doesn't sound like he's moving anywhere soon.
I hope it's Lampard. Michael and Frank as assistants would be (.)(.)s
Would be what? Tits?
Carrick's already part of the coaching team. He wants to bring another in.
If it's someone worked with him before, I can't think of anyone except Aitor Karanka.
It’s going to be that Jose Morais fella
Eva Carneiro 
Very nearly genuinely spat my drink out - well done
That would be a bit underwhelming.
Lampard is intelligent with a lot of top playing experience.
Exactly why he would make a great coach
Will the likes of Drogba, Lampard and Terry be fine coaching United against the club they're considered legends for ? Can't see it.
all top players have to go through that if they're to become top managers right?
I don't think they will have any second thoughts at all,they would love to gain coaching experience at a club like United.Lampard had no problem playing for Man City,so why would he have a problem coaching United?If Giggsey is offered the Arsenal job,do you think he would say no?Absolutely not,he would jump at the chance to manage Arsenal....
Out of all the players mentioned, Terry is the only one that really makes sense.
E.g. tied to a club and they have a huge game coming up so wouldn't mention him.
Good God.

Not for direct rivals I believe.
It depends on the players. Some have no problem in doing it but others not so. I don't think Giggs or Scholes will accept it. Others maybe.
Patrick Vieira and Mikel Arteta went to coach at City, although I appreciate the latter doesn't really qualify as a club legend.
What would someone like Terry, Lampard, Drogba add? Get in an experienced coach who can contribute offensively and tactically, sort of like SAF did with Queiroz.
Terry said just a few days ago that he was planning on staying with Aston Villa if they win their promotion game. So it won't be him.
I don’t think it matters who the prospective new coach played for in his career.
Look at Matt Busbys playing career

They'd be stupid to say no if they have any managerial aspirations. To work with one of the best coaches in the world at one of the biggest clubs in the world is great experience for them. They are professionals at the end of the day and we've seen the likes of Vieira go and coach at City for example. I also don't think the rivalry between us and Chelsea is big enough for them to say no. I certainly wouldn't hold it against Giggs or Scholes for example if they get a job at say Tottenham or Chelsea for example.
Why do most think it’s a former player?
Something about Mourinho saying he doesn't liked trained assistants and wants someone he can mould.
I don't think it's Terry. He says he wants to continue playing and if Villa get promoted itl be there. Otherwise I'm guessing he will go for another pay rise somewhere abroad. Lampard maybe.
Obviously it might not be a player but his words suggest it could be.
Thanks for the reply. I thought I’d missed something whereby he said it’s a former player. I can’t imagine it’s someone who hasn’t coached already. He’s already taking on Carrick, he doesn’t want another novice. Also, he’s mentioned someone to help him with tactics, I’m guessing this is tactics to help us be more fluid in our attacks. Hence why I think we will be getting someone who has already coached with Jose before.
The hope is that it's someone to challenge or at least progress his current tactics, not just an ally to rub his tummy when everyone's telling him he's the anti-Pep.
Saw Makelele’s name mentioned which intrigues me. He could be a mentor to Pogba like Evra was at Juve.
Full time devils saying Zanetti lol. Great!
I fecking loved Zanetti as a player.
Strongly doubt he'd leave Milan let alone Italy though.

I hope to feck it’s not that guy
Imagine the meltdown if Lvg came back
Unlike John Terry, Matt Busby wasn't a cnut though. So that matters.
Jesus imagine it was Brenda
You’ve ruined my weekend. Cheers.
In all honesty, I do hope it is a more offensive minded coach, along with Carrick. I think we’d all love it if the prevailing narrative that Jose is anti-football was proved wrong, and we could match strong defensive performances with the ability to ability to shut down a match and also decisively open up a match and attack. That was SAF in his prime.
