‘Shocked! It wasn’t Tuchel.’ Manchester United is ‘considering’ former Dortmund manager Terzic to replace Ten Hach

A shocking name has emerged as a candidate for Manchester United’s next coach. The Sun said on the 13th (Korea time) that “Manchester United has included former Dortmund coach Edin Terzic on the list of replacements for Erik ten Hach.” Terzic led Dortmund to the final of the European Champions League last season, but he eventually broke up with Dortmund. The Sun said, “There are many people inside Manchester United who support Terzic.”

Terzic has the strength of being familiar with English football, having obtained a coaching license in England and being a coach under former Chelsea coach Graham Potter and former West Ham coach Slaben Wilic. However, as the shortcomings are clear, such as poor performance in the league and poor relationship with the inside of the Dortmund squad, if this report is true, his head is tilted. The Sun said, “Porter, Gareth Southgate, Thomas Tuchel, Thomas Frank, Hoobeng Amorim and Simone Inzaghi are also being considered as Manchester United’s successor.”

For now, Manchester United has not decided on the future of coach Ten Haah. On the 9th, The Sun said, “Despite the seven-hour marathon meeting, the meeting ended without announcing any results. Ratcliffe did not answer questions about coach Ten Haah’s future.” Earlier on the 7th, the BBC said, “Coach Ten Haah drew for two consecutive games. If one of the two games had been lost, especially against Aston Villa, Ten Haah’s situation would have been much more disadvantageous,” adding, “As a result, Ten Haah will hope that the senior Manchester United officials will postpone the replacement, but the A-match break is a good time to change.” “The replacement of Ten Haah will be the most important topic at this management meeting.” As reported, discussions continued, but no conclusion was reached.

Ten Hag’s future was a watershed moment in the Europa League against Porto and the league against Aston Villa. Manchester United drew 3-3 with Porto and 0-0 with Aston Villa. Manchester United tied Aston Villa for eight points, the lowest point they have won in their opening seven games since the 1989-1990 season. At that time, Manchester United remained in 13th place, the lowest since former coach Alex Ferguson took office, and now it is 14th, lower than that.

Still, Manchester United showed hesitation. According to the ESPN report Rob Dawson on Sunday, the leadership of Manchester United does not want Ten Hag to be replaced. He feels pressure to part ways in just two months. “This is our fourth clean sheet this season. As you can see, we have great teamwork and unity. We had a great spirit as a team,” Coach Ten Hag said after the match against Aston Villa. “We talk about the future every week. We are all on the same page, and we know what we are doing. This is a long-term process.”

As if to prove his imposing attitude, Ten Hach went on vacation. The Sun said, “Ten Hach is on vacation now. I have confidence that the club will never fire him during the A-match period. That’s why I took the vacation comfortably,” and as a result, he was right.

Still, rumors of a possible crisis under Coach Ten Hag are expected to continue. This is not the first time that Coach Ten Hag has been dismissed. In particular, Tottenham’s sixth round defeat at home on April 30 poured fuel on angry public opinion. On the day, Tottenham was not in a normal situation, with captain and captain Son Heung-min missing. On the other hand, Manchester United had all of its key players deployed. The mood was favorable to Manchester United, but shockingly, the result was 0-3 defeat.

The atmosphere is abysmal. Manchester United fans are voicing their opinions that Ten Hag should be replaced immediately. Manchester United retained Erik ten Hag ahead of this season. At first, the team was likely to break up with him. Manchester United ranked eighth in the league. It was its worst performance since 1990. Manchester United also suffered humiliating elimination from the group league in the European Champions League. Having formed a new leadership beyond the Glazers’ era, Manchester United said goodbye to Coach Ten Hag and fidgeted with a new manager’s card.

A big twist happened. He beat his rival Manchester City to win the FA Cup. In the end, he continued to accompany Coach Ten Hach. They renewed their contracts for two years. Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Hoobeng Amorim, Roberto de Gervi, and Xavi Alonso were mentioned as new candidates, but they decided to give him a boost once again.

Manchester United opened its wallet this summer as well. It recruited Matthijs the Licht, Nusair Mazwari, Lenny Yoro, and Joshua Zirkji to upgrade its skills. Of course, they are not the best players to win, but they are definitely squads that can threaten the championship. However, Manchester United is not meeting expectations.

In this situation, coach Ten Haach has only complained to the media. “In the past two years, we have lifted the most trophies in England after Manchester City. This is the fact,” he said at a press conference ahead of the match against Liverpool. “We want to win this season. I’m sure we can achieve this.” He continued, “I had to rebuild this club. I’ve developed young players and lifted trophies. What else can I do here?” He continued, “As far as I know, the paddle is satisfied with me. I don’t care that I don’t get credit at all. It’s not me that matters, it’s Manchester United.”

He was just like the coach himself right before his replacement. The leadership of Manchester United again made a decision. The leadership expressed its support for Coach Ten Hag through Sky Sports. Omar Verada, the CEO of Manchester United and 꽁머니 Group, said on Sky Sports, “We still believe in Eric. We fully support him.” He added, “We think he is the right coach for us and we are fully supporting him.”
