Replacement for Alex Ferguson

The retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson was confirmed officially on  8 May 2013; his last game will be against West Bromwich Albion and it will be his 1500th game in charge of Manchester United.

The pertinent question is who will replace Sir Alex Ferguson?

José Mourinho is definitely not available for this job. Given the indication that he is on his back to Chelsea and his contract with Real Madrid is yet to expire; getting JM to wear the shoes of SAF is a long short.

Antonio Conte is definitely a coach to have ; however, he has an ongoing project with Juventus and possibly his Italian style might not suit the English football.

Pep Guardiola has being on sabbatical for the past one year and has already penned down a contract with Bayern Munich to begin in the summer. Inheriting the best team in World of Football at the moment, he will definitely prefer to remain with Bayern Munich.

Arsène Wenger has being a rival to SAF since the beginning of time. With both coaches being the ones with longest careers in the English Premier league. Sure AW lacks a lot in the trophy cabinet in the past seven years; nevertheless, we should note that he has being on the tightest budgets.

Michael Laudrup had a fantastic career as a player and recently won his first trophy as a coach with Swansea FC. Just a beginner in the coaching world but with lots of potential.

Ryan Giggs is currently the most decorated player in the English premiere league like his boss SAF. Yet to go into coaching but he is a great candidate if continuity is considered.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær has the potential for the job. Having played for MUFC and coached the youth team; he will surely carry on the legacy of SAF.

Jürgen Klopp, the question here is will JK want to move on from Borussia Dortmond? Will he he be interested in taking another challenge outside Germany or will want to cement his name in the Bundesliga. JK is absolutely phenomenal, a coach to have.

Who will be the next coach of Manchester United?
