The ‘top’ coach picking for the United bench: Lopetegui, first on the list

Erik ten Hag’s time at Manchester United is numbered. Although the club has not yet commented on the matter, finishing last in the group stage of the Champions League, and therefore being eliminated from European competition, was the death blow for the Dutchman.

The Red Devils are already considering the possibility and here is the list of top candidates vying for the Old Trafford bench:

Julen Lopetegui

Julen Lopetegui is at the top of the list. The Spaniard, who is highly regarded in England for how well he has done at Wolverhampton in a short time, is free after leaving the club in the summer and is an option that the United board really like because of his proposal, which which will give some continuity to what Ten Hag wanted to do.

Graham Potter

English

Another on the market and very familiar with the Premier League is Graham Potter. Although his Chelsea venture did not pan out, his first spell at Brighton supported his attacking football, which De Zerbi later took to the next level.

3

Joachim Low

It’s been years since Joachim Löw took charge of a club but… What’s more tempting than the Manchester United bench? After leaving Germany, where he had a very successful career, the German is free and without a team, although he has not given any news that he wants to return at the moment.

4

Hansi Flick

german

Speaking of the German team, the less fortunate was Hansi Flick, who was recently sacked due to poor results. However, he turned Bayern Munich into one of the deadliest teams in recent years with total football that Old Trafford would love.

5

Antonio Conte

Italian

First Chelsea, then Tottenham and now… United? Antonio Conte is another Premier League connoisseur who is on the market. When it comes to immediate performance, the Italian has shown that no one is better than him. It has advantages, but also disadvantages.
