Alex Ferguson believes David Moyes is the man to succeed him at Old Trafford. Ferguson, 68, is convinced that Everton boss Moyes can provide the continuity United crave to keep them challenging for the top honours.
Manchester United boss is ready to step down after one more season.
Ferguson knows fellow Glaswegian Moyes, 46, well and has constantly championed his achievements at Preston and now Everton. He also believes it is right to give a good British manager the chance to take one of the big jobs in football.
It appeared that Jose Mourinho is the bookies' favourite and enjoys a close relationship with Ferguson from his time as a rival boss with Chelsea. But the United hierarchy, including the influential Sir Bobby Charlton, are not convinced.
From the bottom of your heart, who wants Mourinho as the coach? This "special one" courts controversy all the time....er.. All right, he courts controversy AND success all the time. but I still believe his controversy and arrogance overachieve his success. Besides, Mourinho doesn't hang around. Two years at Porto, three at Chelsea now wants out at Inter. So, Mourinho..don't dream of Old Trafford job any further. You're not wanted!
Guess what, the bookies even linked SAF successor to Arsene Wenger. That was a bit impossible. Wenger have the reputation as best coach in the game and also skilled at unearthing and nurturing talent but I reckons he trust his youngsters too much. Can you imagine Arsene running away from Arsenal FC to MUFC ? That's the kind of difficulties in getting Pep Guardiola as well. Pep and Arsene are bonded to the club! As strong as an elephant glue.Difficult to separate them.
Fabio Capello was mentioned to be in the frame as well. He vowed to see out his England job until 2012. He will be 65 when Fergie goes. I wish Capello will get the job too. He had won titles in Spain and Italy and would ensure Wayne Rooney excels and stays at Old Trafford. (There's no issue here, Rooney will never leave Old Trafford unless he's offload..100% confirm)
My personal choice goes to Guus Hiddink. He has managed the likes of Real Madrid, PSV in their glory days and impressed at Chelsea (indicate his tactic works in Premier League). The only set back is not keen on hassle of club management, preferring to work at international level, which explain why he just become Turkey coach rather than coaching Real Madrid or Man City.
One more thing, whoever get chosen as the coach..hopefully he'll appoint someone who is very influential as the assistant. Promoting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from the academy wasn't a bad idea. It is like promoting Pep Guardiola to Barcelona first team. Pheww...I'll keep dreaming for Eric Cantona as the coach though.. ;p
By the way, don't you think Guus Hiddink looks like Carlo Ancelotti and Susan Boyle?
