Real Madrid surpasses the milestone of 500 goals under Zidane:
10. Bruno Lage – January 20 (Place 1 to 20)
Having his first season working in the Premier League, replacing Nuno Santo to lead Wolves, what the 45-year-old coach shows is extremely impressive. The “wolf pack” under Lage built a solid defense as the foundation, ready to compete for the ticket to the top 4.
9. Ralph Hasenhuttl – January 20 (Pick 1 to 20)
Ralph Hasenhuttl was Ralf Rangnick’s partner at RB Leipzig. Therefore, if Rangnick takes on the advisory role within 2 years, Hasenhuttl will be the name to be considered, because they have the same football philosophy.
8. Zinedine Zidane – January 20 (Place 1 to 20)
The French strategist was mentioned after Man Utd sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. However, the rate is not high, because Zidane is a target of PSG.
7. Didier Deschamps – January 20 (Place 1 to 20)
The odds for the 53-year-old captain are also not high, because he is leading the French national team, aiming to defend the world championship at the 2022 World Cup.
6. Brendan Rodgers – Jan 14 (Place 1 to 14)
The 49-year-old coach’s chair was shaken violently by Leicester City’s poor performance this season. Rodgers is also a long-term target of the Red Devils, when the Old Trafford team is looking for a replacement for Solskjaer.
5. Diego Simeone – 12/1 (Pick 1 to 12)
The Argentine strategist was once targeted after Man Utd sacked Jose Mourinho. Simeone’s talent was confirmed at Atletico Madrid. But the philosophy of the 51-year-old captain is not necessarily suitable for the Red Devils.
4. Antonio Conte – 2/15 (Place 2 get 15)
Although he has just taken over Tottenham for more than 3 months, the future of the Italian strategist is also in question. If Conte and Spurs soon end their cooperation, Man Utd can completely lure the former Inter coach to Old Trafford.
3. Ralf Rangnick – 2/13 (Pick 2 get 13)
Man Utd showed signs of prosperity under Rangnick. The problem is that he needs more time, more contracts to build his philosophy. Will Man Utd appoint Rangnick as a long-term coach for the club?
2. Erik ten Hag – 2/1 (Pick 1 get 2)
Ten Hag is a bright candidate after resounding successes achieved with giant Ajax. The way the 52-year-old coach takes advantage of resources from the youth academy is a big plus.
1. Mauricio Pochettino – 1/1 (Place 1 for 1)
The former Spurs captain is considered the number one candidate. Pochettino is said to have a not-so-smooth relationship with the PSG board, and is ready to leave next summer. Man Utd is therefore trying to bring the Argentinian coach back to England.
