**Manchester, England** – Manchester United has parted ways with manager Erik Ten Hag following a disappointing start to the 2024-25 Premier League season. The Red Devils currently sit in 14th place after nine matches, their latest defeat coming at the hands of West Ham United.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ten Hag’s compatriot, will take over as interim manager, supported by the existing coaching staff. The search for a permanent replacement is already underway, with several high-profile names being linked to the position.
**Potential Candidates:**
* **Gareth Southgate:** The former England manager is considered a strong contender, having led the Three Lions to two consecutive runner-up finishes at the Euros.
* **Zinedine Zidane:** The legendary French midfielder is currently without a job and has previously enjoyed success with Real Madrid.
* **Roberto Mancini:** The Italian tactician, who previously led Manchester City to their first Premier League title, could be tempted by a return to English football.
* **Graham Potter:** The former Brighton manager impressed with his attacking style of play and could be a popular choice among fans.
* **Max Allegri:** The experienced Italian manager is available after being sacked by Juventus earlier this year.
The club is expected to make a decision on a new manager in the coming weeks. The Red Devils will be hoping to appoint someone who can turn their fortunes around and challenge for trophies once again.
