Ferguson Backs Giggs To Replace Van Gaal As Manchester United Coach

ferguson_giggs
Manchester United assistant Ryan Giggs is the right man to succeed manager Louis van Gaal, according to former boss Alex Ferguson.
Giggs, 41, was appointed Van Gaal’s right-hand man last season and the United icon is seemingly being prepared for the top job once the Dutchman departs in 2017.

However, reports have emerged recently that Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is United’s first choice to replace Van Gaal.
Ferguson, though, is under no illusions who should take the reins.
“I think Ryan has all the qualities to be a fantastic manager,” the 73-year-old and 13-time Premier League winner said via the Mirror.
“I have heard it said that he will have to go to another club first because he doesn’t have enough experience.
“But he is gaining experience working with Louis van Gaal and he also had experience working with David Moyes and working under me as a player.
Van Gaal’s contract is due to expire in two years and the 64-year-old Dutchman has given no indication whether he will renew his contract.

Cesc Fabregas the ‘Rat’ who turned against Mourinho? Nothing could be further from the truth [Telegraph]

Jose Mourinho’s sacking at Chelsea has led to all sort of plot twists and intrigue. Far from a routine results-oriented sacking, there was a lot more to Mourinho’s sacking than meets the eye, the conspiracy theorists insist. A narrative of a dressing room mutiny has persisted throughout the season, and ultimately proved to be Mourinho’s downfall – again if you believe in the smoke and mirrors stuff.
