Yeah that would be ideal, big fan of Nagelsmann but doesn't feel like he is interested in leaving that Leipzig project for at least a couple of years yet
Next United manager 2020/21 edition
- Thread starter soapythecat
- Start date
It’s all about organising what we have, our defence have proven (last season) that they can do a decent job with the addition of our new LB we should be ok there. I think Poch is up to the job to stabilise the team and get consistency. He’s managed in the PL and took spurs to challenging positions. If he gets backed he will get us challenging for titles and I think within a few years we can win the PL.
How about United go all out for Didier Deschamps as manager?
With Euros and World Cup to participate in over next 20 Months, he probably wouldn’t come before 2022/3 season.
But he could be amazing as well as attracting lots of top French talents.

Pochetino
Nagelsman
Giggs
Ten Hag
Only options I would consider

Personally I'm not happy if our next manager is not a successful 29 year old from inner Bavaria who wears bark sandals and lumberjack shirts.
Woody and the Glazers have done it again. Failed to back the manager and now we’re discussing who should be the new manager, even though they’re the ones who should be out the door.
Hahaha precisely. You could clone Fergie and give him the gig it would still follow the same path.
Right at this moment I would say that Ole will probably be here next summer. To be honest I don't really care anymore.
Just wanted to write that. And not just big clubs. Every club.
Bloody hell, because of Fergie, Man Utd fans act like it is disaster to change managers every few years.
Allegri.
The feck would we consider Giggs? He's completely unproven.
The same way I look at Grealish and Kane as someone that could have been a United player for us is the same way I see Nagelsmann as the perfect United manager
Giggs? Please tell me this is a WUM?
Give it giggsy til the end of the season
He's never really been that good at a club level though has he? He seems like he's found his place at international level.
He may never re-adjust to club management, but his last experiences were in 2010, so he has obviously learned so much in that time.
It's very important not to repeat the same mistakes again.
Underqualified, out of their depth: Moyes, Solskjaer
Experienced, past their sell-by date: LVG, JoMou
A top manager in his prime is what's needed, Poch being the obvious candidate, just hope Woody doesn't drag out the sacking and someone else ends up snatching him.

Sorry if you've posted this before but do you have a ranked 'preferred manager list'? (e.g. 1. _______, 2. Poch, 3. ______, 4. ________)
Bielsa or Ancelotti if Ole has to go.
Anybody else just wouldn't be good enough and we'd be looking for a new manager again.

When things go wrong for Bielsa, they go so very wrong. And in this club, squad, environment there can be only one outcome.
Also, with Woodward in charge, someone will be punched in the throat by Day 2.
It's just Poch really. Too early to go for Nagelsmann and I don't think he'd fancy it.
Doesn't matter who the coach is. if the recruitment team / board isn't changed we're going nowhere. Ole wanted Haaland, Bellingham (both who look very good) and Sancho. He got Igalho, Donny and 2 unknown kids.
This isn't a recruitment / management team that is going to deliver a title under Poch. No chance.

Gotcha.
We know Wubwub monitors this forum and I've been thinking it would be useful to do a head-to-head thread between Poch-Nagelsmann-Rose.
Pochettino is still the best candidate. We are trying to build a team that challenges for major titles and Pochettino has done exactly that in the premier league. He hasn't won any title is always the argument against him but let's first build a team that can challenge like he did at Tottenham then we can talk about winning.
He also prefers to work without a DoF unlike most modern managers which I'm sure we are not getting anytime soon. Most of the players we have are also suited to his style of play so we are not going to have to start again

Ole is still at the club. I'd say it will be disrespectful
I think Poch, and it may be sooner than we think.
Around Christmas is my guess.
I disagree on that, he's been managing for a number of years already, in the international stage not ina low tier leage. Yes, he's yet to achieve success and accolades but that's not actually because of him being a bad manager.
Hasenhuttl or Nagelsmann. Rodgers for me is a good mention I think the key should be for us to identify managers with a clear philosophy / identity willing to imprint on the team. Hansi Flick is a great example about having a decent squad of players under one manager and completely re-galvanising the performances of the team simply by implementing his vision. We should find a manager who is best suited to manifesting this transition.
I think he is a bit of a douche but he must be a decent manager. He has done well everywhere he's been and is overachieving for two years in a row with Leicster. Its still early days but they continually get raided and lose their best players, have lost Ndidi to injury this year, but still play decent football.
Maybe he coulf bring that Fofana with him too. Or Lord Farquad. And possibly Barnes.
How about having an awful personality? I don't expect the manager to be gandhi (I'm actually one of those getting angry at Ole for smiling when we're loosing) but honestly speaking I'd rather get moyes back than give it to giggsy even though I loved him as a player.
I'll take Ole ahead of Giggs any time any day.
I'm not that convinced with Ole but I'll prefer him ten times ahead of Giggs.

Why Giggs?
Yh agreed - I think it's a simple choice of finding someone who has built a team that is exciting to watch (and lines up with how we think we can be successful as a club) and ideally has PL experience. If not PL than at the very least a big 5 European League. Hasenhuttl would be top choice for me, seems a strong character is playing with a team that is borderline relegation quality and outperforming every expectation - he's also incredibly involved in revolutionising Saints and how their project is run from the academy level and has created his 'book' which covers everything from types of players for each position to improving the standards of their lower level coaches.
I honestly think, for all the flak Woodward and Judge get, that is what they need. Essentially a manager with a specific style of play with knowledge of the PL to hold their hand a bit - our transfers are always all over the shop (Spent world record on Maguire only to play him in a high line, same for AWB but expect him to be better attacking, signed Fred because he was good at Shakhtar but have spent years working out how to use him, Pogba looked world class at Juve but has struggled with us, VdB looks to be another on this list) we essentially buy the best available players in their position not the best players for our position.
Hasenhuttl, Rodgers, Poch all are obvious candidates.
When we do next appoint a new manager if it is Pochettino.
Can the Mods set it to Auto Correct when people annoyingly post Poch as if he's their best mate to Pochettino?
Like when Mourinho was hired it was changed so people couldn't post Jomo?

Poch isn't anywhere near the same level of annoying as "Jomo" thats disgraceful.
Meh Poch is easier to write than the full name.
Edit : Also how it's any different anyway from things like Pep, Jose, Ole..etc ? If we're talking from such perspective, we have no business calling anyone of them with his first name.
But it's just easier to do so than the full name.

You think that is bad? Have you noticed people talking about Eric Bailly? Bailey, Baly, Bally, etc.
Ducking hell. Half of them can’t spell the name of the greatest manager we’ve had in our lifetime.
mcGuire, there’s another one
So no way am I worried about the shortened name ‘Poch’
