The second is one of the most desired names in Europe. Ajax coach, led the team to the semifinals of Champions League 2019 and could have another great achievement this season if he advances in the competition.
Despite everything, the former player Rio Ferdinand expressed the correct method of looking for a new coach, betting on the model and not on the immediacy.
“I think personally United have to cancel the next year or two in terms of trophies at the very least. Let’s think: let’s rebuild what we have, get our recruitment right and there’s a certain style of play under this new manager that we’re going to go with and he will have time to get everything right.”
“There will be mistakes, some things will go wrong, but we’re going to stick with this guy and give him a minimum of two years to sort this out and see progress and development happen. It’s going to take that long, and you can’t have that transition and win. .This does not happen. Liverpool did not. How long did it take Klopp to win?” he added.
