Manchester United ready three-man shortlist to potentially replace Erik ten Hag
Manchester United’s potential search for a successor to Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford this summer includes assessments of several notable coaches. While there’s no definitive decision yet on Ten Hag’s future under the new management of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS group, options are under consideration to understand the credentials and availability of potential replacements.
Among the potential replacements are Roberto De Zerbi, currently serving as the head coach of Brighton, Thomas Frank, the head coach of Brentford, and Gareth Southgate, who manages the England national team. These coaches have drawn interest from INEOS, but it’s worth noting that other managerial candidates are also under the watch of the club.
That is ESPN. Given the significance of this decision, the management is taking proactive steps to prepare for any potential changes, with the drafting of a contingency plan in case Ten Hag departs.
The race for managers is OPEN!
There obviously is a sense of urgency when it comes to United finding a potential replacement as top clubs like Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona are also in the process of securing new managers as well.
Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel, and Xavi have already announced their intentions to step down from their respective roles at the end of the season, adding urgency to the situation. By actively assessing potential successors and preparing contingency plans, INEOS led by Sir Jim Radcliffe aim to ensure that United remains competitive and well-positioned for the future, regardless of any managerial transitions.
De Zerbi and Thomas Frank play an attacking style of football while Southgate fields a rather cautious setup, which is capable of hitting teams hard on the counter, as evidenced by his England sides over the last few years.
In conclusion, the triage of coaches has decent experience working with top players and managing high-pressure situations that could make each one of them a compelling candidate for United, especially given the club’s stature and ambitions.
