The fate of Domenico Tedesco at the head of the Red Devils no longer seems to be in doubt. Speculation is rife as to the identity of his successor.
Between behind-the-scenes negotiations and public appearances by Domenico Tedesco reduced to nothing, the federation is preparing the ground for a new coach. The fact remains that for now, it is very smart who can say with certainty who will take charge of the group towards the 2026 World Cup.
According to Sacha Tavolieri, the decision should be made by the end of the month: “Vincent Mannaert has not yet decided, he has a few options well fixed in his head, like Mark van Bommel or Erik ten Hag” declares. he on the set of LN 24.
The group reaffirms its influence
The players could have their say: “Internally, the executives (Yannick Carrasco, Romelu Lukaku and Jan Vertonghen (who retired internationally but remains influential with the core) are cited) brought Mannaert to reflection, by pushing us to examine the Thierry Henry trail.
-The option leading to Roberto Martinez’s former assistant is therefore pushed by the players. It must be said that the group knows him well. The former Blues star assisted Martinez from 2016 to 2018 and from 2021 until the 2022 World Cup.
Like Erik ten Hag and Mark van Bommel, Thierry Henry has the advantage of currently being without a club. This summer, he led the French Olympic team to the silver medal.
