Manchester United Football Club could well be in for some turmoil over the next few months under Jose Mourinho, particularly if this ‘third-season syndrome’ strikes once again.
However, the potential replacement for the self-proclaimed Special One may have already fallen right into their laps. That’s according to French media outlet L’Equipe, per Sky Sports News, who suggest that Zinedine Zidane wants to manage in the Premier League, and is setting his sights on the Old Trafford job…
Although it’s somewhat disrespectful towards the current boss, it’s good planning by Edward Woodward to be prepared if the worst happens…
Zidane has won the last three Champions League titles. That’s absolutely insane given he’s only been in management for two-and-a-half years. Make no mistake about it, though, this would be a gamble.
Basically, the Frenchman had everything handed to him on a plate while at Los Blancos. With Cristiano Ronaldo leaving, it’s fair to say he got out at the right time.
If he does come in, don’t be expecting free-flowing, swashbuckling football. Like Mourinho, that’s just not his style. Zizou has relied heavily upon moments of individual brilliance. Heck, that’s probably wise given the squad he had at his disposal.
