Ruud ' I want Utd job one day'

Seems weird that he'd come in as an assistant knowing he'd likely be gone in a few months anyway unless he got the big job?

I bet he regrets not starting managerial work earlier on. He's almost 50 and barely managed anyone.

Amorim has already said he wants to bring five members of his staff with him, including his two assistants, Carlos Fernandes and Adelio Candido, who have been with him his entire managerial career.

The only question is whether we can get work permits for them all.

We shouldn’t have Ruud in the Amorim set up for a few reasons - one of which is that whilst there he acts as a potential dagger in the back if Amorim goes through a rough patch. Him being around just muddies the waters from the new start. Not saying Ruud would be some ruthless Varys type but you never really want too many people from the last regime in the new one, especially ones popular with players.

Not quite sure Ruud is up to managing a club like Man United, to take us where we need to be yet. Not much evidence of it anyway. Strikes me as a being a there and done it (almost) explayer who still loves the club too much than is good for his career (like Ole really).
However he actually managed to win a game yesterday. If he could do that a few more times he would probably get the job. That's what the new man has to do initially when he gets here.

*been there

I don't think this should stop him staying if that's what was going to happen.

I'm sure if Amorim is a strong enough Head Coach to think he can do the job he can also be strong enough to accept that a member of staff would like the top job one day.

If Amorim wants Ruud as his No2 then fine but awkward...if he doesnt which I suspect he wont, the Ruud has to go. I think he knows this though. Apparently Ruud keeps his phone charged and is awaiting a call from Amorim.

He said something we all expect him to say. Whether he stayed or not, the media would make a thing of it as he was caretaker.

None story

If he wants to manage Utd one day, he has to get managerial experience and success elsewhere. Staying as an assistant doesn't really help him.
