Man United considering these 10 managers to replace Ten Hag
Man United are considering ten managers including England boss Gareth Southgate as potential replacement for Erik ten Hag, according to The Sun.
Southgate is reportedly the top choice for new Man United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe but there are nine other alternatives should the England manager turn down the job.
The managerial list of potential replacements for Ten Hag includes former Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter.
The search for a new head coach has led to the consideration of several high-profile names, with Roberto De Zerbi, currently at Brighton following Potter’s departure, and Brentford’s Thomas Frank being notable contenders. Their achievements and tactical nous have evidently attracted attention.
Adding to the intrigue, Thomas Tuchel is also reportedly in the mix, expected to part ways with Bayern Munich after this season. His track record, combined with his tactical acumen, makes him a compelling candidate.
Julian Nagelsmann, currently steering the German national team, is another distinguished figure rumored to be on the shortlist, bringing his innovative approaches to the game into potential consideration.
The list doesn’t stop there; it also features two notable figures who are currently without a club – Julen Lopetegui and Zinedine Zidane. Both have had significant stints at Real Madrid, bringing a wealth of experience and success at the highest levels of European football. Their availability and proven track records in managing top talents and navigating high-stakes competitions make them attractive options.
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou could be targeted if Man United continue their “aggressive recruitment policy”.
Completing the list of potential candidates is Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon. His work in Portugal has not gone unnoticed, with his tactical flexibility and ability to develop young talents marking him as an exciting prospect for the role.
Each candidate brings a unique set of qualities and achievements to the table, making the selection process a challenging yet exciting endeavor.
The decision will undoubtedly be influenced by a variety of factors, including footballing philosophy, managerial style, and the ability to achieve both immediate impact and long-term success.
Man United will be back in action a week on Saturday, travelling to West London to take on Brentford.
