Who will be the next manager of Man United when Sir Alex Ferguson finally decides to step down? One thing is for sure, it will certainly be a difficult appointment. At the moment many see Martin O’Neill as the favourite to take over from Sir Alex however I have a hunch for a person who thus far has not even been mentioned for the position.
I am not personally involved with professional football; I work within the leaflet printing, composite doors and DVD authoring sectors; I am however a massive football fan.
No one can argue that Sir Alex Ferguson has performed supremely well since becoming the manager of what many consider to be the best football team in the world, Manchester United. It will be very hard for whoever takes over from Sir Alex to fill his shoes as they say.
There are numerous foreign managers who, as usual, will be in contention for the role. I personally believe that Darren; the son of Alex could have a real chance – he is currently the manager of Preston. You may well be laughing at this suggestion however let me describe why I think he would be a great choice. Both Sir Alex and Darren were not the best of players but did reach a fairly high standard, Darren is likely to have learnt a lot from his father, Darren is doing supremely well with Preston, the team he currently manages.
It has to be stated that at the current time Darren would have odds of around 1000-1 to be the next manager but how short would those odds fall if he were to lead Preston to promotion to the Premier League? Just imagine how much a personal recommendation by Sir Alex for his son would be? Take it from me in a couple years time Darren Ferguson could well be the favourite to take over from his father at Manchester United.
I am not a United supporter, I actually support my local team Birmingham City. Ferguson junior being appointed as the next Manchester manager would certainly be a massive football story.
My vote would be that Darren Ferguson takes over as manager with Paul Ince as his assistant, what a management team that could be!
