Manchester United used to be the hegemon of English football, but after the retirement of Alex Ferguson, the team fell into a slump. Ten Hag took over the mantle and took on the task of reviving United's glory, but a series of defeats left him on the brink of resignation. Now, let's take a look back at who has been the most successful of United's eight managers in the past decade
First of all, we can't ignore the huge impact of the Ferguson era on Manchester United. Not only did Ferguson lead the team to 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League titles, but more importantly, he shaped a fighter who never gave up. This formidable tradition makes it difficult for any manager at Manchester United to escape the pressure and challenge
When Ten Hag took charge of Manchester United, the team was in huge trouble. The initial Waterloo put him under pressure, but he didn't give up. By deepening the squad, bringing in great players and changing tactics, he has brought United back to life
However, under Ten Hag's leadership, the team's performances have been mixed and mixed. At one point, they were called "irreversible giants" by the media. However, that didn't break Ten Hag, but rather inspired him to go further. He tweaked his team's tactics, strengthened player communication, rebuilt morale and brought United back to the top of the Premier League for the first time.
In the ten years of eight marshals, it is undeniable that Van Gaal has stood out in terms of tactical philosophy and professional ability. He introduced the Dutch-style total football philosophy and improved the overall technical level of the team. However, due to poor results and friction with players, he was ultimately unable to leave a deep trace
Jose Mourinho is known for his iron-clad style and tactical calmness. During his time in charge of Manchester United, he achieved a number of successes, including the Europa League and the English League Cup. However, the team's lack of attack and tensions with the players limited his development.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, by contrast, has shown remarkable patience and wisdom when he was called upon in a desperate situation. He treats his players gently and firmly, with a focus on improving the youth system. Ole Solskjaer's success in leading United to victory in the English League Cup earned him a vote.
However, we can't just look at the results and ignore the other factors. In addition to the team's results, a successful coach should also be able to unite players, improve tactics, and shape team culture. Based on these criteria, I think Ten Hag is the most successful coach of the eight managers of the decade
Ten Hag has not only restored Manchester United's belief in victory, but has also built a dynamic and cohesive team culture. His chemistry and interaction with the players has made United a more cohesive team. His tactical adjustments and team management have also provided a solid foundation for the development of the team.
Although Ten Hag has faced great pressure and challenges, he has managed to lead Manchester United out of the slump and back to the top through his hard work and wisdom. His contribution is not only reflected in his achievements, but also in shaping the culture and unity of the team. Therefore, among the eight managers of Manchester United's ten years, Ten Hag is the most successful coach!
