pochetino is far better than Zidane,the Madrid dat won 3 champions league don't need coach to perform.

Of course... That's why the same madrid is completely unbeaten, topping the league with over 10 points, etc... Y'all just come here to type without proper reasoning.

Zidane should avoid the temptation of going to Old Trafford. His end is around the corner if he goes there, it's the throne that leads to hell.

I pray man U appoints him and I will dig this out for you..for your correction Cr7 was our Messiah not Zidane...we play better football now but no one to score.

He can succeed but Man Utd needs to spend and buy 6 or 7 top, top players. Get Griezmann in attack, Thauvin on the wings, Sergej_Milinković-Savić, luka modric and de jong in midfield, De Ligt in defence, and new full backs. expel 7 players from the team and they can gradually build up from there.

helinues:
Not a bad move .
I am expecting these players to leave as well;
Jones, Smalling, Anderson, Young, Pogba, Sanchez

which Anderson? include Fellaini

Slynation:
Zizou run for ur career sake....
Man utd is under a curse until Fergie confess

Poch is more experience and can handle the team better.

everyone is saying Zidane is overrated,Pochettino is a better candidate for Man United Job,how a coach pilots the affairs of a team plays a huge role in the players success on the field,Mouinho wasnt a good coach @ Man United because,he likes absorbing pressure instead of creating the pressure towards his opponents,he needed experienced Mid fielders and strikers not requesting for defenders to build the great wall of China in this era of football,because whether u like it or not scoring ur net in football is inevitable,but how a coaches style of coaching on the players to exhibit the tenacity to retaliate and dominate the field of play really counts in football.

Zidane isn't the coach United needs. People like Pocchentino, Klopp and Guardiola would fit in.

I know I'm female but I play FIFA a lot with my bf and read his magazines so I know a lot about football.
My thoughts are Zidane won't be able to be successful in the EPL than that of his LA Liga brace.
EPL is a hard league. And that's where his real challenge will be.
I don't think he is ready. LA liga tactics don't work in EPL

Hmmmmmm....I like your analysis and knowledge of the game. keep it up sis. No wonder your boyfriend love you die! !!!!

grrr:
in Manchester City, he started by strengthening the squad where he felt it needed strength. Now what many coaches lack is what I call mental motivation, Pep does this a lot to his player. I watched the whole Mancity documentary that was released around September. (over 4 hours documentary) you needed to see how he deals with his players, he doeas a whole lot of mental motivation that physical activities on the training ground

Pep is a genius he is on another level..

Yeah Just the way pep la liga tactics didn't work at mancity

Pep spent 200 million pounds on defense alone. I am not even talking about how much he spent upgrading his attack.

That is what all EPL teams apart from United
spend to upgrade the entire team is what city spent on defense alone.

Any manager worth his salt would be successful with that kind of spending.
People tend to ignore the money factor.

What is this one saying ?

Why won't pep spend 200 on defence ? So you want pep to use old and weak players like clichy zabaleta,pep overhaul is defence he bought starters and also bench

Van gal and mourinho could not turn Man U apart with all the money

Any coach that don't want to spend money should go and coach Cardiff city ,there are difference between big club and small club

Zabaleta and clichy are no small players.

I am not saying pep is not good.

But when you have spent the biggest sum in the history of English football, in a single season on your team , your tactic should work na.

In other words, for tiki taka to work in the premier league, city had to spend like no other club had done before.

So if pep had managed an arsenal or Chelsea who spend but not too extravagantly nowadays, he is not going to be that successful.

Zabaleta and clichy has ran out of pace ,you know the Epl require pace ,those guys are already in their 30s including bacary Sagna,pep can't use such defence in winning the league ,remember with those guys in his first season he came 3rd in the Epl

Pep can win the league with Chelsea but not Arsenal

Man united as a club is finished truth be told coach is not really the problem of united, but the players truth is that some players are far above standard to some players.a player like linguard now truth be told cant go to man city and play for 90min.
Flash back to united between 2007,08,09 before the arrival of tevez look at the starting line of united then players with high standard like van nesteroy, ronaldo, park ji sung even wen tevez came he was still benched anderson was even benched cos of the caliba of playerd on the field nani same thing.
From head go down look rashford, linguard, lukaku, fellani all this players nor fit ball for team like barca or madrid na or even psg cos dem nvr suit that kind ball.
When angel d' maria left man u he complained of the players around thers dey spoil e leg why cos them nvr develop i only dey pity sanchez and co shall.

Timil:
Pochettino not Zidane is what we need right now.. Zidane is another pragmatic coach who relies on counter attacks while Poch is an all attacking coach besides Zidane has never built a team but Poch has been able two build up two different teams therefore, Poch is the way forward.

When people who started watching football yesterday start talking I just know who they are.
A man who won champions leg thrice in a role is not just a flavour of the month coach.
He is methodical in his approach and he was able to steer his team to the very height in Europe.
On the home front many factors were against and he knew what was under that was why he immediately dumped Madrid because Florentino Perez was making Madrid a commercial ckilub like Ronaldo alluded which unhealthy for a person like Zizo who. is result driven.

If Pep could do it with his tiki-taka style of football who says Zizo can't replicate same with much swaggger.

Reading your BF Magazine and what not is not enough for you to make an enlightened opinion concerning this issue.
ZiZo is far more astute than most of you make it out to be.
Quote me anywhere, he is the only player and coach who has won the UCL as a player and as a coach THRICE in a roll for Real Madrid.
And you think it is a mistake or he probably got lucky. But before one could get this lucky one has to make the luck work to his favour.
Even when Mourihno was brought from Porto to Chelsea after wining the champions league some people thought he would find it hard with people like Ferguson,Wenger,Moyes and other reputable EPL coaches in the dugout.How wrong were they; the special one took everyone by storm and made the difficult teams who. were hard to break down look cheap and weak like a house of biscuit.

All I am saying is, Zizo will succeed and succeed well knowing his antecedents of being a good man manager and this is one of his strength most football fans and pseudo pundits alike do not know.

Just watch the space.

worlexy:
Zidane should run for his life, something is wrong with that club called Man U, after Ferguson's glorious exit, every other manager after him has been sacked and humiliated, David Moyes, Luis Van Gaal and now Mourinho. Zindane should not go and rubbish himself over there, the fans expectations is very high

At least 50% of every United player today was signed by Fergusson. (Most were in tge B team) He saw the handwritten on the wall, and decided to retire quietly. I feel Maurinho was unfairly treated. Imagine, the patience Man U had with Sir. ALEX, so many years without major trophies before he got his rythm..... give a good and tested coach at least 5 years before you nail him for incompetence

Young man calm down... when I started supporting Man United in 1997 you were probably still kicking in your mothers womb.

You know nothing about football your knowledge of football is zero, Zidane won 3 UCL with an already made team a team that was built up by Mourinho and Ancelotti, Zidane only reaped the efforts of what those two coaches did over the years.

There's no rocket science to what Zidane did in Madrid, the secret to it was that Zidane earned the respect of Madrid players, put them through some tactical training then the players did the rest on the pitch. His success is mainly due to the fact that the team he had at madrid consisted of guys whose winning mentality were high.

Zidane has never built a team, appointing a coach who is inexperienced is very dicey and at this stage United must get it right there's no time for trial and error, we need a well tested coach, a coach who has built something from the scratch, a coach who is experienced.

Pochettino is the man!

He never built a team?!
And you said he took over from Mourihno who has a history of leaving any team he has coached in disarray?
You don't know this ? Whether you started watching Man Utd way back as far as in 1980s does not mean you know man united better than I do,it is not even the crux of this matter .


You said ZiZo isn't good enough, yet he won three UCL where these same coaches you listed also participated actively and you think is a flash in the pan? Come on dude.
A coach that was promoted from their Fielders team same as Pep when he took over from Frank Rijkard who had a winning team for him that won the UCL. And you say in all. honesty that he sis not good enough to lead United?!

If you ask me, ZiZo is more than qualified to lead United.
He is world class player, a football legend in France, a laliga winner and one time WFY and treble winner of the UCL and you are comparing him to Pochetino who has only managed Southampton and Spurs with no trophy to show?

I wonder what criteria you are using to compare.
Was this not the same Zidane who had no chance on paper but swaggered past a ruthless Bayern team managed by his Ex boss Carlo Ancelotti?

The exposure and pedigree of ZiZo to Poch are not even close.

The truth is you are just simply enamoured by the glitz and glamour of the EPL that is why you think Spanish sides are not strong.
I don't like hailing local champions .
If Poch was that good let him win UCL with his relatively unknown team just like Mourihno did with Porto, or do something close in the EPL just like Raneiri did with Leicester City.

You can now argue with you keypads.

go there and kill ur career

In a way you are right. But wrong too. Guardiola and Emery have defiled that. Spanish football is superior to epl if you have the right players. Zizou can replicate Spanish football in ell is manutd are willing to spend. In the past 12 years, Spain has dominated European football and that's cuz they attack more and play a more balanced game. This is contrary to pl where 85% of what they play is cross and nod. So I think Zidane will do well in pl if manutd are willing to back him with the funds needed. He is both a coach and a manager.

Pochetino is good but my question is, is manutd patient enough to build a team? I think they have passed that level with Sir Alex. Manutd has the money to buy players and then pick one or two players for the academy to work with them. They won't be patient to start building a team like Tottenham or Ajax. We have passed that level. Xavier and iniesta and co left Barcelona. They didn't start building. They spent big to replace them Cruz there is no time for a team with such pedigree as manutd. If they aren't willing to spend big, they should just stick to a low budget coach and leave zidane.
