Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has this reputation of being a very short-term manager. A manager who brings success to a particular team for a short period of time and then moves onto other challenges. So who will replace Jose Mourinho once he moves out of Manchester United?
But before we try and give you an update on that question we want to point out that the Portuguese seems to have taken a very different route with the Red Devils. Mourinho has signed a new deal which will keep him at the club until 2020.
According to multiple reports, the Portuguese wants to oversee the revival of Manchester United and only then will he think of moving out.
But according to Gary Neville, he knows will replace Jose Mourinho but first, he wants the former Chelsea boss to succeed at Old Trafford.
Neville told Yahoo Sports:
“I do have an opinion on my own club, but I’m not willing to share it with you because I want Jose Mourinho to continue.
“I have a very clear idea of who I think the next Manchester United manager should be, but I want Jose Mourinho to be successful first before that happens.
“I believe he will be successful because he’s always been successful wherever he goes.
“However, I believed that David Moyes and Louis van Gaal would be successful because I am a fan of the club and I have to believe in the club’s managers as a fan.
“You sometimes lose that faith over a period of time watching them, but on the other hand, from a point of view of Jose, now that he’s been supported with a new contract and he’s been supported with investment in the transfer market, the club need to now go the whole hog and make sure they support him in the future, for the next year or two, to be able to win that league.”
Neville added: “Jose is not going to win the league for the first two seasons it looks like, but I’d still advocate him being given that third season to go and try and win it.
“Jurgen Klopp hasn’t won a trophy yet at Liverpool, but I think the quality of the football and what he’s doing there means that ultimately he should be given more time to try and accomplish it because the direction looks good.
“[Mauricio] Pochettino at Tottenham hasn’t won a trophy yet, but the direction and the quality is there.
“So it’s not always as easy as saying, ‘If they don’t win a trophy do we need to change managers?’ or ‘If they have won trophies, do we stay with them forever?’
“It’s more around ‘Is the direction right? Is the quality there? Are the performances good?’ and I suppose it’s when you start to see the plateau and the tailing-off, you start to think ‘oh, here we go’.”
