Even at Chelsea, half of Tuchel's coaching staff (Joe Edwards, Anthony Barry, Hilario and some of the fitness guys) were there under Lampard.
You don't need to make a clean sweep of the coaches to have a very different result.

I agree with you @esmufc07. We have sacked the manager but retained the whole coaching setup, when everyone can clearly see that we dont have any tactics, playing style and are not coached. Get them all out
I think the only way the club could have sacked Ole this weekend and still made the wrong decision was if they'd decided to give Carrick any more work at the club.
To be fair, the Glazers can't dismiss the whole coaching staff.... the next manager (permanent) will do that and bring in his own staff..... hopefully!!!
Ole leaving was long overdue. I'm still disappointed to see him leave as he did a good job sorting out some squad issues, great guy and a Utd legend.
Hopefully he's always welcome at the club and this doesn't hurt him too much.

Is Tuchel on the training field coaching? I dont know what kind of day to day role he has. I saw some videos of Xavi returning to Barca and he was out there on the 1st day organizing and getting them set up, whereas Ole usually stood there with his hands in his pocket
Yup, top 4, a good run in the CL, and hope Liverpool don’t win the league. That’s the best we can hope for this season.
Relieved and saddened at the same time. Really hope we can salvage something this season, remains to be seen.
This interim manager scares the shit out of me, if the interim gets top 4 he will get the job permanently like ole did…
just get a permanent manager now…whatever it takes

If they’re all staying Ole has just been used as the fall guy it’s pointless. Maybe they should have fired him 2 weeks ago and appointed one of the best coaches in the world in Conte who would have brought his own staff and had over 2 weeks of training with the squad?
The club is a complete mess from top to bottom. Now we get an interim quarter of the way through a season with the same backroom staff this season is already a write off
About two years too late. Need to get the next appointment right and do not want a manager who had a connection to the football club
Why is anyone surprised that the coaches are staying at the moment? We've got a game in 48 hours, someone has to be in charge for that!
Clearly, there will be changes made when the interim comes in and definitely when the permanent manager (please Ten Hag) comes in

Happy it's finally happened, took a lot longer than I expected.
Now starts another period of of craziness and stress

So thats this season completely written off then.
Sad for Ole, I don't think he's done as bad a job as some, but it's been obvious for quite some time that he wasn't going to last. The the Liverpool and City performances followed by an international break created the ideal opportunity to make a change in some sort of planned way, but no, the board decides to waste that opportunity and then sack him anyway, while doing nothing that will help the team to perform any better going into a crucial CL game and then with Chelsea next.
Nothing has changed, Oles gone from the firing line but the coaching set up remains the same.
This board is 100% reactive, nothing is done in a planned or managed way with them.

I would imagine so, Tuchel is an innovative tactical so imagine he’s pretty hands on with that. Ole almost saw himself as a DoF, the coaches were left to do their own thing with broad, overarching input from Ole.
when those coaches turned to be leading him to ruin, there was nowhere else to turn to because Ole doesn’t have much of a football brain himself.
Let's be fair, though. While defeats to us and Liverpool will NEVER be acceptable to utd fans (and rightly so), they were understandable given the status of the teams now. But getting a chasing at Watford who, even after yesterday, are only 2 points outside the bottom 3 was always likely to ring alarm bells in the hierarchy at OT.
It could be that the permanent manager is not available right now...hence the need to appoint him/her
at the end of the season. It should be regardless of the results of the interim manager though.If an interim like Blanc, for instance, came in and totally revolutionised our organisation and playing style then who’d argue against it? All depends on the job done- not just that they’re an interim
Thank god that's over. 3 years of mediocrity over.
BBC making it very clear he's been sacked rather than anything else. He should have walked with some respect left.

We could have done things over the international break. This 'head in sand' approach by the club is one of the reasons why we find ourselves in such a predicament. They have waited until the last possible moment to dismiss Ole and screwed up the managemebt of the changeover. The incompetence we are witnessing here is staggering.
Even if there's someone lined up, literally everyone with first team coaching experience is a better interim than Carrick. Every manager in the L1, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, etc has better credentials than Carrick. And with how poor our coaching has been with Carrick on staff, the odds of him turning out a good manager are very slim. Great managers often stand out at the assistant level already.
We need to stop with this ex player bullshit and get someone the players know who the feck they are and what they've won, even if it's as an interim. There's a reason Chelsea appointed Hiddink a couple of times as interim and not Drogba.
A guy walking into the dressing room having achieved feck all as a manager is just a signal to the players that we have no standards.
Having been a good player is not a predictor of managerial ability. Stam was arguably a better player for us than Carrick and is an absolute joke of a manager.
Carrick should get one game only, while we fly our interim in and he needs to feck off even if he wins 0-10 in Spain.
If an interim comes in and get top 4 they'll have done well because right now it's looking unlikely.
Thank god.
Loved him as a player, like him as a person, delighted he's no longer our manager.
Good luck in the future Ole.

He is. Chelsea don't really have a "manager" in the old fashioned "in charge of everything" kind of way. Tuchel is head coach.
Maybe a different situation.
Sad it had to end this way but it was inevitable.
All the best for the future.

I really, really hope that the interim manager is because we have an agreement in principle with either Ten Hag or Zidane.
An interim manager because we don’t have a clue who we should go for yet and might give the interim manager the job if he does well is not the sort of plan we should be doing, again.

Turns out it's not that easy huh. Hope Woodward and friends finally, finally make proper appointment after 4 straight failure
Any manager that does not have clear vision and tactics should not even be considered
Ole has done a very good job at rebuilding the player staff and made the club top 4 consistent presence, the only one to do so since SAF. It is a shame he could not make the next step forward, but left the club in a very much improved position then what he had taken over and laid the foundations for the next manager to go directly to challenging. If that comes to pass, I hope our more emotional fans will find it within themselves to give credit to Ole and the extremely difficult job he has done to revamp the squad and getting us out from the rot of the mid table finishes we were falling in to before his appointment.
The club statement tells me we have an agreement with someone to take over starting next summer and therefore we are only looking for an interim manager now for the rest of the season. I'm almost certain it's Zidane, or at least it should be, given his quality of managing big names; he might be the only one capable of bringing the best out of Pogba, Ronaldo, Bruno etc and create a functioning team in the process.

I hope so! If we are getting Ten Hag in June then I’m happy to accept an interim
Stop trying to apply logic. These clowns want blood and they want to see a manager and whole set of coaches who have never met the players come in in time to fly to Villareal tomorrow.
Thanks @duffer
Saw images of Stevie G on the training pitch at Villa getting stuck into the coaching and taking the lead. That's what we need. Someone to come in and rip our coaching to shreds.
Next manager will hopefully employ his own coaching team.
Woodward making his 5th managerial appointment after 4 straight failures. He’s one of the most glaringly incompetent people in football.
How dare anyone have a different opinion to yours.
If an interim comes and in and gets top 4, then they have done the bare minimum. Our squad is good enough for top 4 with the games remaining and with the other teams around us not being that great either.
If an interim comes in and actually wins the Champions League, then we can talk.
We're only 6 points from 4th, behind West Ham, Arsenal and Wolves. We may be 7th (possibly 9th after today if Everton and Spurs win) but 4th should be the minimum expectation now.
Board let this go too far and made it more toxic than it should have been. Good luck to Ole. I hope he has a long break and gets to relax.
The coaching staff also need to leave. This wasn't only on Ole. They've been here for 4 years and we've been quite bad for large amounts of that time frame. There will be no change until they go as well.

I hope Villa don't refuse to play Phil Collins' music over the tannoys.
Just pleased it's over now despite the silly timing because it's It's been a chore going to these games at OT over the past couple of months.
Time to go back to being remembered as a player because he will be despite some of the heat of the moment reactions.

It's an absolute mess, missed out on Conte while the board dithered, now it seems the plan is to bumble through till the end of the season.
It seems there is no one with a clue how to run a football club.

Highly debatable. We were 6th when he took over and he has left us 7th. We have a few players who want to leave and are running their contracts down. Our two main strikers have a combined age of 70. He has spunked 400m and bought some absolute dossers like Maguire and AWB. Never won a trophy, lost countless semi finals. Hasnt really promoted youth apart from Greenwood.
But I suppose the mood around the camp was better.
