'Bring them all together, because you don't know who's going to be'

Manchester United, which is noisy over the issue of manager change, seems to be including all current and former coaches in the next coach candidate group. In the UK, there are reports that a puzzled person is being mentioned as the next director.

Manchester United are in a state of chaos at the moment. Since the beginning of the 2024-2025 season, the ranking has fallen to 14th place in the league. As a result, coach Erik ten Hag was expected to be replaced immediately. However, Manchester United's leadership, including co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, failed to make a decision. After about seven hours of marathon meetings, Ten Hag's replacement was reserved. Coach Ten Haach went on a leisurely vacation and will lead the eighth round against Brentford after the A-match break.

For now, he has maintained the command of Manchester United, but the situation is not completely organized. Coach Ten Hag is still on the verge of being replaced. In fact, the Manchester United club is considering replacing Ten Hach with several former and current managers on the list. The most widely known figure is former Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel. In addition, Gareth Southgate, who led the England national team, is also being considered a candidate.

But a new person appeared. The new face that local media are wondering about is former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic (42).

The Sun, a British media outlet, said on the 13th (Korea time) 'Manchester United is considering former Dortmund coach Terzic as a replacement for Ten Hag. In addition, former Munich coach Tuchel and Manchester United coach Ruud van Nistelrooy are also in the candidate list. At a time when coach Ten Hach will be replaced, he seems to be searching for candidates widely.

Regarding Terzic's appearance as a candidate for Manchester United's next coach, The Sun described it as a `shock'. Terzic, who led Dortmund to the Champions League final last season, left the team in June. He has a very short career as a manager. After playing as a coach at West Ham, he served as an acting coach for six months from December 2020, and led Dortmund for two seasons from May 2022.

Of course, he led Dortmund to a good performance. In the 2022-2023 season, he was on the verge of winning the league, and unfortunately lost the Bundesliga to Munich as a result of the final match of the season. In the 2023-2024 season, he led the team to the second place in the Champions League. Despite performing well, he resigned after the end of the season due to a feud with Bodzin. Therefore, local people are concerned that Terzic is not a good alternative.

Of course, Terzic is not considered the leader among the candidate groups. For now, it is expected to be a two-way race between Tuchel and coach Van Nistelrooy. Former England coach Southgate is at the level of review. Terzic is also expected to be at the level of review.

In addition, the names of Ipswich Town coach Kieran McKenna, Brentford coach Thomas Frank, Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi and Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim are mentioned. The former and current coaches are all being considered by the Manchester United club for now.
