The list also includes Tuchel, Southgate, Potter and van Nistelrooy
Ex-coach Borussia Dortmund Edin Terzic shortlisted for replacement candidates Erik Ten Hag V Manchester United.
Currently unemployed Gareth Southgate, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter are also being considered for the hot job if it becomes vacant soon, according to media reports. In addition, Ten Hag’s current assistant, ex-Man Utd forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, remains a logical option, as previously reported.
Let us remember that Zinedine Zidane was previously named as one of the likely successors of the Dutch specialist.
Manchester United have a 5-match winless streak behind them. In the last round of the Premier League, ten Hag’s team played out a goalless draw with Aston Villa (0:0), and before that they lost to Tottenham (0:3). Also, it was never able to win at the start of the Europa League, having drawn with Twente (1:1) and Porto (3:3).
After the defeat by Spurs, the Dutch specialist said that he was not thinking about his dismissal. In July, Erik ten Hag extended his contract with Manchester United until the summer of 2026.
Terzic is known for his work with Borussia Dortmund, with whom he fatally missed out on the 2023 title, failing to beat Mainz in the final round. Last season, Edin reached the Champions League final with the Bumblebees, where his team lost to Real Madrid (0:2).
The 41-year-old specialist also has experience coaching in the Premier League. He received it while being an assistant to Slaven Bilic at West Ham (2015 – 2017). The German has worked on the Croatian’s coaching staff before – for two seasons in Besiktas. After leaving the Dortmund club, Terzic’s future was linked to various clubs, including Roma and Milan.
Manchester United is in 14th position in the Premier League standings. On October 19, the Red Devils will play Ukrainian Egor Yarmolyuk’s Brentford.
