Manchester United are out of the Champions League, and the club's former player Djokic gave an exclusive interview to the Mail, where he rationally analysed the issue of the managerial position. Djokic comforted Ten Hag that the Red Devils have a lot of internal problems and that the one-line operation is good. With United missing out on the knockout stages of the Champions League and the club failing to qualify for the Europa League play-offs, Ten Hag will need to concentrate on preparing for the league. Although Djodzic also admits that the level of the Dutch coach is not suitable for the Premier League team and there is a possibility that he will be sacked, but sporting director Mutov may not be able to find a suitable candidate, so Ten Hag will continue to coach the Red Devils, which is why Djodjic comforted him. Although the depth of the squad at the Theatre of Dreams is okay, the team's discipline problems are more serious, and Mutov may have to send off a number of stars during the winter break, and Manchester United will not have a good squad depth in the second half.
In that case, it would be a good outcome for the club to return to one-on-one operations, and it would be a good outcome if Ten Hag could lead his team to focus on finishing in the top four of the Premier League. If a Dutch coach is fired by management, who will be the new manager?Djokic analysed the Ten Hag squad provided: Zidane's cards are too big, and at present, Manchester United cannot invite Zizou in terms of strength and record. And other first-line managers won't take over the mess in the dressing room, which means Conte has largely ruled it out. Setien is unfamiliar with the atmosphere of the Premier League, with Nagelsmann already in charge of the German team. As a result, Djodzic mentioned a candidate - Mutov needs to keep an eye on Loew. Although Loew's late record in charge of the national team is difficult to describe, he has the bonus of the Hercules Cup and is somewhat famous.
From a managerial point of view, Djodzic believes that Loew has been in charge of the German team for so many years, and has experienced a lot of bad things for the big-name stars. The "slap gate" between Podolski and Balak, and the captaincy dispute between Ballack and Lahm, although the solution was not perfect, was at least settled by Loew. If Mutov can keep an eye on the German coach, Djokic thinks Loew will at least be able to manage the dressing room. Manchester United have now lost confidence in terms of results. But there are still a lot of stars in the team. Even if Mutov is ready to send away veterans such as Varane and Casemiro, the likes of B Fee and Mount are still worth a lot. How to balance the status of these people in the locker room?Loew may be doing it. And Loew doesn't have the club's coaching honors yet, so when he picks a club, he shouldn't be picky about the results, which is something that Mutov needs to pay attention to.
When Chelsea were knocked out of the Champions League last season, fans of the club were well aware that the Blues would probably miss out on Champions League qualification in 23 24 based on their situation in the league at the time. I remember that some of the Premier League legends raised questions at the beginning - at that time, Stamford Bridge had a bit of a luxurious squad, more young players with high value, and some stars sitting on the bench. If the club can only play a single line in a given season, the coach does not need to rotate the lineup, but will cause internal friction in the team. You must know that there are a lot of stars in the Theater of Dreams now, and after only a single-line battle is left, it will also cause the lineup to be unable to be consumed, why does Djodjic think that a single-line battle is also good?In Djodzic's view, the Red Devils only have a strong squad in theory, and there are few people who can really use it, and there are still some positions where there are no really suitable players.
For example, in the center forward position, Rashford is not an orthodox candidate for this position at all, and the center forward of the three strikers can barely be competent, and the arrow figure is definitely not suitable. Ten Hag's refusal to abandon his 4-2-3-1 formation and the absence of the traditional attributes of a no.9 have led to a drop in his form this season. Anthony Martial was a suitable candidate, but his injury status is uncertain and he usually charges for two hours and uses five minutes. In other words, the resumption of worrying about the battle is more beneficial to the actual situation of the Red Devils. In addition, Ten Hag was voted Premier League Manager of the Year last month because of his team's winning streak in the league, which shows that his coaching style is suitable for a round-robin format. Single-mindedly tackling the league has been a good thing for United this season, so it's no wonder Djojic wants to comfort Ten Hag.
The Dutch coach's position is not precarious, and now he just can't find a reasonable candidate. Some will say that Loew doesn't even have club experience, how can he come and coach a Premier League team all of a sudden?In Djodzic's view, the candidate that Mutov needs to observe is still an interim manager, not a long-term manager for Manchester United, at least Loew can be the best coach. And Loew also needs to find a club with decent strength to accumulate practical experience for the rest of his coaching career. As for the real long-term candidates, Djokic suggested that Mutaugh look for Ferguson.
