5 Managers Who Could Possibly Replace David Moyes At Manchester United
With David Moyes possibly getting the boot from Manchester United, here are a few possible candidates who might take over as manager.
1. Jurgen Klopp
Jurgen Klopp has established himself as one of the most highly-rated and well regarded managers during his time with Borussia Dortmund, transforming them from Bundesliga also-rans into Champions League finalists.
givemesport.comKlopp secured two league titles on the trot in 2011 and 2012, which is a phenomenal achievement given just how many players Dortmand have lost in recent years, including to hated rivals Bayern Munich. Fed up with the German press’ favouritism of Munich, and a lack of funds to keep his players – such as Japanese playmaker Shinji Kagawa – Klopp could yet be tempted to take the reigns at United.

Louis van Gaal is also another popular candidate and his attacking football would certainly impress United fans. His CV is ridiculously impressive, having won league titles with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Ajax, as well as the Champions League and various other European trophies.

Gary Neville may not have any experience in club management, but the former Manchester United captain has seen his reputation significantly enhanced since becoming a Sky Sports pundit. The Old Trafford legend has been widely praised for his analytical approach and ability to read the game, and a future career as a head coach would appear to be likely for Neville.

Simeone has done a superb job since replacing Gregorio Manzano at the Vicente Calderón in 2011, earning himself a reputation as one of Europe’s best coaches. Atlético are four points clear at the top of La Liga, ahead of Barcelona and Real Madrid, and knocked Barca out of the Champions League to set-up the semi-final clash with Chelsea.

The 67-year-old Dutchman was recently fired by crazy Anzhi Makhachkala owner Suleyman Kerimov, and is thus available on the market as a short-term fix. The vastly experienced manager is known for his attacking sensibility and holds Premier League experience after leading Chelsea to an FA Cup final win in 2009 with an impressive 74 per cent win record after taking over from Luis Felipe Scolari.
unitedrant.co.ukGuus Hiddink falls into a bracket of celebrated coaches who tend to succeed more than they fail. He is a coach of the highest order with a proven record, often in unfashionable and difficult circumstances. He has dealt with some of the biggest egos in world football, brought the best out of them and sometimes, sent them packing, yet maintained huge respect in the process.
