“He is the only coach that made Real Madrid to play free flowing and Tiki Taka football. That’s why Manchester United fans wanted to sign Erik ten Hag in the first place which we don’t see in his games recently. Everyone knows how badly he wants to coach Manchester United and we need to sign him now before Barca Does”-Sir Jim Ratcliffe has decided to sign Formal Real Madrid coach who every fan enjoys his football as he is very well placed to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
Multiple reports suggest that Julen Lopetegui, the former manager of Wolves, Sevilla, and Real Madrid, is emerging as a prime candidate to succeed Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
At 57 years old, Lopetegui has been without a managerial role since parting ways with Wolves in August 2023. Despite his short stint at Wolves, where he led the team to a 13th-place finish after winning the Europa League with Sevilla, Lopetegui considers it one of his most significant achievements.
Now, with Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford uncertain after a disappointing second season, Lopetegui is reportedly in the mix for the United job. Madrid-based outlet Relevo confirmed that Lopetegui rejected a lucrative offer from a Saudi Arabian club, indicating his preference for a managerial role in England.
Lopetegui reportedly sees Manchester United as an ideal fit for his ambitions, considering it a project that aligns well with his vision. The United board values his previous work at Wolves and his experience in European competitions. Additionally, his bilingualism and coaching pedigree make him a strong contender for the role.
Football analyst Dean Jones believes that United would be wise to seriously consider Lopetegui for the job. Jones points to Lopetegui’s track record of elevating teams, his desire to secure a Premier League role, and his suitability for a higher-profile position compared to his previous role at Wolves.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Ten Hag’s tenure, Jones suggests that if Ten Hag were to be dismissed, Lopetegui would undoubtedly be a top contender for the managerial position at Manchester United.
