The news report reports that Manchester United has not made contact with either Zinedine Zidane or Antonio Conte until today. If offered the job, neither manager would turn it down. While there is some controversy with Ole, Zinedine is the most suitable gene for the job. Can Ole be sacked and either of those two be appointed with immediate effect?
I don't see why this Man Utd management is still patient with Ole despite all his shortcomings and lack of trophies or any sort of "results" to show for his entire managerial time at Man Utd. I was thinking they'd get rid of him since last season but have since continued being patient with him and the reason for this isn't clear. Maybe because he's a club legend? Lampard was a club legend and Chelsea still terminated the contract and ended up with a coach that produced result (like that UCL title win!).
Ole brings to the team many things. In a way, he stabilized the club/team. Just remember the relationship between Mourinho and Pogba, or LVG and Di Maria... the atmosphere in the club itself looks much better, he managed to get rid of some unnecessary players, also most of the new players coming under Ole are generally a good choice. He had no problem leaving De Gea on the bench and giving a chance to Henderson in last season. he obviously has a good relationship with the players.
He knows how that club works and everything it does is in line with that.
Still, tactically he was completely immature and for club ambitions that are not enough.
Conte is the best candidate for improving Manchester United's shaky defensive cohesion among the players, as he is known for his devastating counter-attacking 3-4-3 system, but I doubt they will fire Ole anytime soon. After several years of no progress, I'm astonished he still has the board's support to continue.
I guess, Conte with current players probably can make instantly some big results. the problem with it is that it leaves behind a bad atmosphere. Just remember how did the Diego Costa case end with. It's not a way how things going on in Manchester United. They have full respect for their legend (check Ole).
Zidane is probably a much better choice (maybe for a long time), but it will also take time to adapt.
