Today, Wednesday, a Spanish press report revealed the possible name to succeed Dutchman Eric Ten Hag as coach of Manchester United.
Manchester United is going through one of its worst seasons in recent times, after leaving the English League Cup, as well as the Champions League, and occupying sixth place in the Premier League.
According to the Spanish network “Relevo”, the Spaniard Julen Lopetegui, the former coach of Wolverhampton and before him Sevilla and Real Madrid, will be the closest to leading Manchester United, if Ten Hag leaves. Lopetegui is not currently leading any team, after his departure from Wolverhampton last August, and since At that time, his name was associated with various clubs that changed their coaches, such as Napoli and Al-Hilal Saudi Arabia.
The report confirmed that the Manchester United board of directors appreciates the work of Lopetegui and Wolverhampton, as well as his mastery of the language and his knowledge of the nature of competition in England, in addition to his experience in Europe (he won the European League with Seville), and this is what puts him ahead of the other names that were mentioned in the last hours, such as Zinedine Zidane (he does not speak English and has not coached outside Spain), Graham Potter or De Zerbe.
However, there is another factor that must be taken into consideration for Lopetegui to gain more power, which is his good relationship with some of United’s current players, such as Sergio Reguilon, Raphael Varane and Casemiro, whom he previously coached at Real Madrid.
