No, we need an attacking manager, someone who identifies with the values of the club.
Back in my day, the top managers were LVG, Sacchi, Capello and Trapattoni. All of which were hard as nails, who saw themselves as generals on a battlefield with players acting as pawns in a chess game. These days all of them have all but vanished. LVG and Sacchi are considered as a bit of a circus act, with their interviews taken with a pitch (or ten) of salt.
Those who still share this mentality are in a crisis. Conte got sacked, Mou seems losing the dressing room for the third time in a row. SAF noticed the signs early on. He shed away his disciplinary bad loser attitude soon after the treble and focused on improving his soft skills much to the disappointment of Roy Keane who rebelled. These days football is managed by people with great man management skills. Pep, Zidane, Allegri, Klopp and of course Ancelotti.
Diego is the exception of the case but he still manages a smallish club whose hardly renowned for its huge list of WC players.
Well, he's great at what he does : scoring a goal and defending for their lives for it.I cannot think of anyone worse than him. People keep saying how great he is & how is has assembled a good side into a cohesive unit. If that is the case can someone explain to me how last season Man Utd scored 68 goals to 58 for Atletico Madrid in their leagues, whilst Barcelona & Real Madrid scored 99 & 94 respectively. It would make our last three managers seem like the masters of attack.
Nope. He will neither win trophies, nor get us to play attacking football.Better him than Zidane. That's for sure.
Why would you want anothe defensive manager?? Havent people learned yet?Well he’s certainly attainable since his contract expires in 2020 and according to reliable sources close to him United are the only English club that he would consider managing(he turned down the chance to succeed Conte at Chelsea).Hes 48 and he knows how to reinvigorate a team for a sustained period of time(we should always strive to find a manager who will stay with us for a decade).
He’s a La Liga Champion,he was a whisker away from winning 2 CL titles...What he has managed to do at Athletico is more impressive than what Pochettino has done at Spurs.To make Athletico compete against the big 2 in Spain season after season is a phenomenal achievement...
In my opinion Simeone is the best candidate to succeed Mourinho...Do you guys agree?
This.Thread can't have enough Nos
NO
Simone is like Mourinho up another two levels.Well he’s certainly attainable since his contract expires in 2020 and according to reliable sources close to him United are the only English club that he would consider managing(he turned down the chance to succeed Conte at Chelsea).Hes 48 and he knows how to reinvigorate a team for a sustained period of time(we should always strive to find a manager who will stay with us for a decade).

This 100%. Simones tactics are to win 1-0. Park the bus and get a lucky goal.I cannot think of anyone worse than him.
