I would be quite happy if Zidane wanted to coach Manchester United who are currently slumping to replace Erik ten Hag, because in terms of experience Zidane has also been seen as good for a team like Manchester United. But we all need to wait and see how the Manchester United team management will deal with this because now there are indeed many unemployed coaches besides themselves who no longer want to be coaches for any team. And hopefully this news can be a good start for Manchester United in the coming seasons.
Idea of Zinedine Zidane coaching Manchester United is thrilling especially since team is struggling under Erik ten Hag. Zidane experience and past successes would really help Manchester United. He did great job at Real Madrid showing he can lead top teams. However Manchester United leaders must be cautious. There are many good coaches available so they should not rush. If Zidane becomes coach it could be fresh start for Manchester United making team stronger. If done correctly hiring Zidane could be a major breakthrough for Manchester United, leading to a successful period.

When it became known that Erik ten Hag was sacked, there was a lot of news about the new coach, I didn't even see that a possible replacement could be the Brentford coach (but he has already denied this), and I just saw that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could return to Manchester United, but for some reason I also don't believe this news, it seems that now all the coaches who are out of work will try on this position, I read about Xavi during the day, and I think they won't forget to mention Zidane either.)

I have read a lot of posts where it says that Vini will not be traveling to the Ballon d'Or ceremony. Which leads to the conclusion that Rodri might be winning, as he was always set for the second position. A logical conclusion to this is, that the PR that Real Madrid generally has, got divided between Bellingham and Vini. This is something that is very likely to happen.
I think it's not too unfair to give Rodri the Ballon d'Or, because he has been excellent for a while now. He dominated in most of the matches in the Euros, he also contributed a lot in Manchester City. He is one of a kind, and it's hard to look past him when you are thinking of great midfielders.
On the contrary, a lot of people think that Vini got robbed. Well, he has been amazing for a while now. Wouldn't have minded him being the winner either, honestly. Both of them were amazing.

Rodri has Simon just won the award although like you said it wasn’t that bad but some reasons I find it shaddy Seriously, Rodri wasn’t the best player last season to me and doesn’t deserve to win it ahead of players like Carvajal who won everything including the euros that was used as criteria for Rodri, won Laliga, won champions league and the super cup. We then have Lautrao Martinez who won the league with inter Milan, Copa Italia, Copa America and was top scorer in all three. Then also Vini in the picture. I heard today that the criteria was switched or added to been class and fair and I ask why doesn’t Vini ticks that box. To me it is a daylight robbery and nothing more
This is such good news for MU fans that it's even hard to believe. After such a huge amount of time, management's patience has run out..... It's funny that a couple of hours before his sacking, the media started reporting from insiders that the next few weeks are going to be very difficult for him because he's hanging by a thread about being fired, which he denied until the last. It's a shame that MU will have to pay 20 million to Ten Hag, but I'm not sure he deserves it.
They are paying the 17m Just because they have to honor his contract and that’s what the law demands he earned the contract and he deserved it, many name have been mentioned but most of them are not even on the club list rather it is just media hype getting therm to the list, the clear candidate remains Ruben Armorim of sporting Lisbon who doesn’t looks like someone that will come now but till the summer
Portuguese League leaders Sporting CP's coach Ruben Amorim is linking with Manchester United job as right now few England based media houses claiming talk is going ahead with him about possible move.
39 years old Ruben Amorim is doing impressive job at the Sporting CP for last few years and won two titles which is amazing stuff it's going to be interesting if he agreed about this as he also linked with Liverpool and West Ham but both time we have other coaches now have link with this job as well.

News coming in is that Ten Hag has been sacked, the management decided to pull him off as the head coach of United following their disappointing loss to West Ham yesterday. Now they should be on the need of a new manager, currently appointing Ruud Van Nistelrooy the assistant to former United manager Ten Hag, so the question if Ten Hag will be able to bring back the glory is definitely not possible following the recent news of him being sacked and replaced. The deal between the teams management and the coach seems to be temporarily and they will still be in search for another head coach to replace.
The current replacement coach is Van Nistelrooy and this is not a surprise because from the beginning we have tried to link Manchester United with van Nistelrooy so when he was appointed as the new coach in the end this was not a surprise I guess.
Hopefully with a new coach for Manchester United now they are a different club especially since there is a special bond between van Nistelrooy and Manchester United so he will definitely not take long to adapt but the pressure is very big now and van Nistelrooy must be prepared for this big pressure.
How many managers have Manchester United sacked since Sir Alex Ferguson left? Four? Five?? You can’t blame them because all the managers were complete flops, Jose Mourinho being the Special One of the group. I hope the new manager (if they can find someone with credits who’s willing to take this job) will get as much support and patience from Manchester United as they did with Ten Hag.
But even so I think the decision to fire Ten Hag at this time is very appropriate even though we cannot know what will happen with the new coach but at least there is a hope where there is an increase in performance for Manchester United with a new coach even though van Nistelrooy is currently still an interim coach.
There must be a lot of pressure in this but it's worth it I think because sooner or later the wave of criticism for Ten Hag if he is retained will increase.

Well, in the end Erik Ten Hag has ended his career with The Red Devil. As expected, after playing several bad matches, Manchester United management finally fired him. So, currently Van Nistelrooy is the interim coach replacing Ten Hag. Let's see how he handles Manchester United under his guidance, maybe he can do it better than Ten Hag. The point is, Nistelrooy must gain the trust of Manchester United players and be able to become a respected leader at least in their dressing room. Thus, it is possible that he can bring Manchester United much better. What is certain is that the current focus is not on bringing in new players, but how Manchester United can rise immediately. Nistelrooy's task is not easy, but it is a good point for him if he is able to bring much better. It could be that he will be patented as Manchester United's coach and not an interim coach. Curious, let's see how United is under his guidance.
Ten Hag deserves to be fired, he never showed a good progress of Man United performance this season. He leads Man United to be in 14th place, it is unacceptable. That position is worse than Chelsea position in the season 2022/2023. I can understand that Man United board is no longer patient and directly decided to sack Ten Hag.Ruud van Nistelrooy is an interim coach only. He will handle Man United team until Man United gets a new coach. Man United is reported contacting Xavi Hernandez to fulfill the position of Man United coach. If Man United gets a deal with Xavi, Ruud van Nistelrooy will be no longer working as a coach. Ruud van Nistelrooy may work as a coach assistance again if Xavi wants him. If Xavi doesn't want him to work as a coaching staff, Van Nistelrooy should leave Man United.
If I were Man United board, I will trust on Van Nistelrooy to manage Man United until the end of the season. I will hire a new coach in the new season, it is not easy to find out the replacement now. Also, Van Nistelrooy deserves to trust because I heard Man United players like him. Who knows Van Nistelrooy can make the difference with Man United performance! It is not impossible, right?

Manchester United board are fed up with the current poor state of the club, time to take decision and make the club a better one. Relieving Erik Ten Hag off his duties seems like a good decision if you ask me. One thing we should know about Manchester United, they're always one step behind when it comes to winning major titles. Yes, Manchester United board have been really patient enough with the club's manager, Erik Ten Hag. He was given enough time but he couldn't convert his chances, downgrading his team below 10 position on the league table. It is not longer story that the man is not the right man to get Man Utd back to its glory.
If only Ruud van Nistelrooy had been interim coach for quite a long time or even until the end of this season, then it is very likely that he will not sign any new players and he will utilize the players that Man United already have. So whether Man United will be improved or not will really depend on his capabilities. But, if in the near time, it turns out that Man United gets a replacement for Ten Hag, so I guess the new coach will most likely have his own list, and maybe there will be some players who will be kicked out and some will come to Old Trafford.

Now it is said that it is accdptable to fire Xavi and hire Flick, but the only reason for that that to be ok is because Flick is successful. If he didn't win all those games and especially the Clasico and the Champions League game against Bayern Munich, I am sure that the whole world would be talking differently about that change. The Spanish news outlets would go wild already by now. But it went well for them and now everybody says the decision was correct of course.
No more than that. Not that in this case for 2 more seasons Xavi coached badly but it's just that when comparing the success that Xavi's era had with Flick's, it is clear that Flick's era was a little better at least for the beginning of the season.But the development of this situation could be different because even though Flick is now doing a good job, it does not mean that Flick will not experience setbacks and that is what Flick must try to maintain so as not to let the great praise and appreciation like now make him become arrogant and feel that he is already strong. The performance that Barcelona has now must be maintained so that the assumption that Flick is right to replace Xavi at Barcelona is the most correct decision for Barcleona.
Yes but I somehow believe that Flick's timing has probably been a bit more lucky than that of Xavi. When Xavi arrived, Barcelona was essentially torn apart in terms of the players that left and that have been core parts of their game for so long. Now Flick has players like Yamal who came out of nowhere but are already in a condition that they can decide a game with a single shot or pass.
But no disagreement here, I think you are right that Xavi did not do a good job. After all he still had a team that could have been coached with more effort and passion. Xavi was great as a player, but he couldn't quite take all of those qualities with him as a coach. Flick on the other hand was ready for Barcelona after he had an amazing time with Bayern Munich and won the Champions League already.
Now I am curious whether any of the top clubs will try to reach out for strong players during the winter break. Barcelona looks so healthy right now that they might be satisfied with what they have.

Management expects targets to be achieved. If a manager has been given the trust to do his job within a set time limit, then the decision to sack or retain him is theirs. The manager is hired on an agreed salary. If management deems his performance is not producing results, then it is appropriate to sack him regardless of who the manager is.
Erik ten Hag deserves to be sacked. That's good news. I heard that Ruud van Nistelrooy will be the interim manager of Manchester United. In my opinion his ability is better than Erik ten Hag. I saw and read several times that he was the opposite of ten Hag in terms of changing strategy when Manchester United played.
I welcome Manchester United's move to appoint van Nistelrooy as Erik ten Hag's replacement, even if it is only temporary. If he is capable, making him a permanent player would be the most sensible option later.

Most of the times it's not about the trust, it's about what you have signed before accepting the job. If you are going to work for a club, there are internal contracts that bind you and the club and that's what you bring to the table. If you can't deliver some trophy and you are playing well, not getting relegated you can still get sack provided you didn't meet up your obligations and things you have signed to deliver.
ETH has had two trophy under 2 season but the trophy doesn't make them stronger or looks serious. I expected his letter to be brought before the club immediately they finish the last season FA final and somehow they were convinced he was going to do well for the club and since this season started, they have been like that usual team that don't go to the top 4 and neither do go to relegation zone and theybwsys qualify for the Premier League every season, no trophy and no any achievements, that's what the club wasn't ready for and they had to fire him immediately even though the headline says left just to keep his reputation intack, nice a
Marketing collateral damage.

I tipped Van to take the job, but I know that it cannot be on a permanent basis even if he records success in helping Manchester United back to their usual winning form. Xavi was the most common name, but I don't think he will finally be given the job.
It seems to be the preference of many Manchester United supporters to want Amorin from Sporting CP than any other option. Maybe he will be a good fit for them.
According to this article, the 2024 Ballon d’Or result was leaked in the early hours of the morning, it is being speculated that Vinicius Junior is the winner of the 2024 Ballon d’Or award with 630 points. But then I see this post from Fabrizio Romano and I don’t know which story to believe, even though for me Fabrizio Romano is the more trustworthy source.
I have read a lot of posts where it says that Vini will not be traveling to the Ballon d'Or ceremony. Which leads to the conclusion that Rodri might be winning, as he was always set for the second position. A logical conclusion to this is, that the PR that Real Madrid generally has, got divided between Bellingham and Vini. This is something that is very likely to happen.

On the contrary, a lot of people think that Vini got robbed. Well, he has been amazing for a while now. Wouldn't have minded him being the winner either, honestly. Both of them were amazing.

Later tonight at Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, the 2024 Balon D'or winner will be announced and while most of us were expecting Vinicius Jr to be given the award of the best footballer in the world, there's a report that just hit the media space that the Brazilian winger will bo longer be given the award. I even read another report few minutes ago that Manchester City's Rodri is expected to be named as the winner of the award today. What's your opinion about this latest development
Based on last season’s performance, and trophies, I think Vinicius Jr deserves it because he won the Champions League, Laliga and others last season compare to Rodri who just won the Premier League with Manchester City last season. Moreover, Vinicius Jr was one of the best players in the Champions League last season, he took Real Madrid alongside other players to win the League.Rodri on the other hand is a good player and the best midfielder in the world, but him as a Midfielder deserves to have good number of sits, which I think Kevin De Bruyne has more than him and other midfielders also have more than him. Therefore, since it is complicated, I think one of them deserves the award but in my opinion, Vinicius Jr should be the winner.
It's a shame that the Ballon d'Or will go to Vinicius tonight. This might have happened because, in the 2023/2024 season, there wasn’t a forward who truly stood out. Vinicius missed the first part of the season due to injury, had a strong second half, but then underperformed with Brazil in the Copa America 2024. In this case, it would have been fair to consider candidates from goalkeepers, defenders, or defensive midfielders.
I believe Rodri was more deserving of the award. He earned major honors (a Premier League title and Euro 2024 silver) and had a consistent performance all season. He also recorded more assists than Vinicius. Rodri lost just one game all season, yet the award will once again go to the most hyped rather than the most consistent player. It's disappointing.
