Who Should be the Man Utd Manager?

WHO SHOULD BE THE MAN UTD MANAGER? As his first season goes from bad to worse, the claims that David Moyes was the wrong choice for Manchester United are getting louder. Has his season so far been as bad as the league position suggests? Here is a look at how Moyes compares to some of the favourites to replace him. DAVID MOYES TROPHY CABINET DOMESTIC A lack of trophies was not an issue when David LEAGUE TITLES Moyes was appointed, as he consistently over-achieved at Everton, with very limited funds. DOMESTIC The step up has been difficult for him so far, but a CUPS good run of results over the remainder, should see him keeping his job, with the chance to rebuild in the summer. If performances do not improve, EUROPEAN U TROPHIES United could look to a more proven successor. NCHEST TEAMS MANAGED Everton UNITED AVERAGE GOALS PER GAME WIN PERCENTAGE WITH CURRENT TEAM WITH MAN UTD 1.67 53.49% SCORED OVERALL CAREER 1.07 44.53% CONCEDED ALEX FERGUSON TROPHY CABINET DOMESTIC LEAGUE TITLES The bookies' favourite to replace Moyes if he is sacked, is a certain Sir Alex Ferguson. With key players on the slide, it might have been a difficult O 14 DOMESTIC CUPS season even for him, but having rebuilt many waning United squads, he would certainly be up to the task. However, at age 72, Ferguson would only EUROPEAN be making a fleeting cameo as they look for a long term replacement. TROPHIES NCHEST ERDEES TEAMS MANAGED UNITIO AVERAGE GOALS PER GAME WIN PERCENTAGE WITH CURRENT TEAM WITH MAN UTD 1.97 59.67% SCORED OVERALL CAREER 0.91 58.14% CONCEDED JOSÉ MOURINHO TROPHY CABINET 7 DOMESTIC LEAGUE TITLES With a managerial record that is already one of the best of all time, Mourinho represents almost guaranteed success. Along with that comes a flamboyant and disruptive character which may DOMESTIC CUPS have deterred the United board from offering him the post last year. If results do not improve under EUROPEAN Moyes, that offer might come after all. Whether he J TROPHIES would leave Chelsea now is another question. CHELS TEAMS MANAGED UDL AVERAGE GOALS PER GAME WIN PERCENTAGE WITH CURRENT TEAM CURRENT TEAM 1.84 63.64% SCORED OVERALL CAREER 1.84 CONCEDED 67.31% PEP GUARDIOLA TROPHY CABINET DOMESTIC LEAGUE TITLES Guardiola boasts the highest win and goals ratio of any manager in the game, although it should be noted that in his short career he has inherited two DOMESTIC of the best squads in world football However, his CUPS incredible adeptness at the highest level is beyond doubt, with an impressive trophy haul in EUROPEAN just a few years. The question is, could United prize him away from this incredible Bayern team? TROPHIES BAYE TEAMS MANAGED NCHE AVERAGE GOALS PER GAME WIN PERCENTAGE WITH CURRENT TEAM WITH BAYERN 3.02 SCORED 85.37% OVERALL CAREER 0.71 73.33% CONCEDED JÜRGEN KLOPP TROPHY CABINET 2 DOMESTIC LEAGUE TITLES A manager full of charisma, Klopp's exceptional feats with German minnows Mainz and more recently Dortmund, are unquestionable. In recent DOMESTIC 1 years a resurgent Bayern have built one of their CUPS greatest ever teams which leaves Klopp facing what seems an impossible task to topple them EUROPEAN TROPHIES again. If United come knocking this summer, he may feel the time is right to move on. TEAMS MANAGED BVB 09 AINYA AVERAGE GOALS PER GAME WIN PERCENTAGE WITH CURRENT TEAM CURRENT TEAM 2.06 SCORED 58.04% OVERALL CAREER 1.07 48.95% CONCEDED DIEGO SIMEONE DOMESTIÇ 2 LEAGUE TITLES Having previously guided his team to Europa League and Copa Del Rey victories, this season Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid team are DOMESTIC CUPS mounting a genuine challenge to the Real /Barca domination of La Liga, alongside a terrific Champions League run. Whatever this campaign EUROPEAN brings, Simeone has already become one of the TROPHIES most coveted managers in football. RACING CDEU TEAMS MANAGED M AVERAGE GOALS PER GAME WIN PERCENTAGE WITH CURRENT TEAM CURRENT TEAM 1.8 SCORED 64.39% OVERALL CAREER 0.68 53.41% CONCEDED ANTONIO CONTE DOMESTIC LEAGUE TITLES Conte has assembled a talented squad at Juventus since being appointed in 2011. In that time they have won back to back Serie A titles and are all but DOMESTIC CUPS certain to repeat that this season. European performances have been less impressive and it may take a more successful season in next years Champions League to make him a genuine EUROPEAN TROPHIES contender for the top job at United. ALAND UVENTU TEAMS MANAGED AVERAGE GOALS PER GAME WIN PERCENTAGE WITH CURRENT TEAM CURRENT TEAM 1.93 66.18% SCORED OVERALL CAREER 0.86 54.36% CONCEDED LOUIS VAN GAAL 7 DOMESTIC LEAGUE TITLES With reports that the Dutchman will move back into club management after the World Cup, his experience of building successful teams could be DOMESTIC 3 CUPS just the tonic for United after a lacklustre season. Despite most of the speculation linking him with Spurs, should an offer of a move to Old Trafford EUROPEAN come in, it would surely prove too tempting for 2 TROPHIES Van Gaal to refuse. AZ JAX TEAMS MANAGED KNVB AVERAGE GOALS PER GAME WIN PERCENTAGE WITH CURRENT TEAM CURRENT TEAM 2.37 57.89% SCORED OVERALL CAREER 0.79 61.41% CONCEDED Figures collated 16 Mar 2014.
