What qualities do you want in our next manager?

[altodevil]

For me, its some kind of coherent, maybe even obvious, style of play. But not LVG boreball. Pressing, movement etc. Some kind of system which doesn't solely rely on luck/fouls/moments of brilliance.

Can't say I fancy Poch as I don't think he has such a blend. Neither does Ole.

What say you?

 

[Zen86]

Finally, somewhere we can discuss football managers.

 

[Tiber]

Wins a lot of games.

 

[Frasbul]

How can we possibly know what a great manager will be like in 24 years?

 

[T00lsh3d]

Winning is important of course but honestly I just want us to play exciting football. I’m sick to death of not enjoying watching United. Games shouldn’t be a chore, they should be a pleasure

I want one of those unhinged lunatics who goes absolutely mental on the sidelines, just for a laugh. A Klopp or a Conte type.

LvG and Mourinho seemed to have a reputation for being a bit wild on the touchlines, but by the time we got a hold of them, they were rather passive and calm.

If he's not grabbing his bollocks when we score a goal a la Diego Simeone, then what's the point?


If the team isn't going to entertain us, then at least let the manager chokeslam a 4th official or something.

 

[united_99]

I want a mixture of SAF, Mourinho (2003-2010) and Guardiola!

 

[Libano]

Someone who turns United into a pressing machine, who can switch between possession football and sitting back and countering if the need arises. Someone who lifts the level of each player.

Basically Hansi Flick's twin brother.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Someone who turns us into one of the best pressing teams on the planet and one of the best possession teams on the planet.

Literally all I've wanted to see for years.

Not asking for much then!

 

[Siorac]

Not asking for much then!

Considering it's Manchester fecking United, with our financial resources, no, it's not asking for much at all.

 

[Superunknown]

Somebody who improves our players. Whether that is a player that has come up through our academy, or a transfer from another club. I want a manager who can coach these players into reaching new heights and to improve the quality of the football being played.

I also want a manager who isn't afraid to make changes as and when they need making. No waiting until a pre-set time has been reached on the clock. If a change needs to be made at half-time, then it's made there. If a player isn't having a good game, then they're hooked. Somebody dynamic enough to recognise that a certain area of the field is a problem, and to then do something to fix that problem.

[Hansinity]

Someone charismatic who the player trust and respect and with a clear direction in terms of strategy and philosophy.

And definitely a coach who can implement a controlled pressing and possession game. If you look at the top teams, they all play pressing to a degree. Bayern, City, Liverpool, PSG for example. They all have coaches who are known for pressing. To me this is also the most attractive style to watch. Longterm this should be United´s standard. Succesful and attractive football. Long way to go though..

 

[dinostar77]

Happy to give Ole more time. If he was sacked then I'd like Poch over Allegri or someone like that. Poch works well with young players. Like his high press and attacking football he played at Spurs.

For a never would ever ever happen but would be amazing to watch, Biesla for a few seasons. That would be nuts.

 

[Needham]

Argentinean with a first name like an ice cream man.

 

[The Cat]

Just someone who can give us an identifiable winning playstyle and improve nearly all the players.

 

[Libano]

Also someone who makes players greedy to receive the ball and not be afraid of it.

 

[clarkydaz]

Cohones of Simeone

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

The same ones as Ole... oh wait.

 

[Mr. MUJAC]

Whatever qualities are needed when that time comes.

 

[horsechoker]

• More flexible with tactics
• Ability to maintain purple patches over longer periods
• Better attacking play
• Fewer slumps from our best players

I'm an Ole in person for what it's worth.

 

[Zlatan 7]

Patterns of play
Correctly timed substitutes
Not being pally with players
Not a United legend
No iPad allowed in dugout

something like that

 

[Amerifan]

His number one ability better be tolerance of so-called “fans” who want to sack him from the day he’s appointed.

 

[Glideman]

One loss in 16 and people are thinking of the next manager, christ

 

[sammsky1]

No need for this thread at all. OGS is going nowhere soon.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Kindness and huge biceps. Also pro-life and non-blue-checkmark Twitter profile.

Must drive Tesla.

Anyone who doesn't think his only job is to tell the players to go out and play with a smile.

So what I take from this is that Karen Gillan (not a man, not bald, no goatee and ginger) would be last on your list. I'd quite like to see her given a shot.

 

[Revan]

First and foremost, to be a good coach who coaches the players to reach their best.

Would love Bielsa here too. Actually, wanted him after Moyes. He is a more insane version of Van Gaal, but less boring than Van Gaal.

Considering that our players haven't been coached since 2016, would be nice to have a good coach.
