The ever outspoken Manchester United’s newly appointed manager Jose Mourinho is back with his well-known style of media bytes when said they are going to win this premier league season. There is nothing wrong in being optimistic but if it is someone like Mourinho, we need to take his confidence with little ease since he is the one who had issued similar words when mentoring the Chelsea in the last season and he kept on his words despite losing in the field one after another which proved he is more of words than results. Although, everyone would accept he is one of the finest soccer minds we have in today soccer and since he is also the only hope for the Red Devils to bring back their glorious days they used to enjoy during Sir Alex Ferguson regime, fans are not sidelining his confidence altogether. Anyways, precisely it has been a long time passed by once ruling English club ManU won the English topflight as their best after Alex retirement has been a fourth place in the ranking … [Read more...]
Manchester United finally sacked its non performing manager David Moyes
So, the fate of 10-month-old Manchester United manager has finally been decided by the club bosses who sacked him for miserable performance from the defending champions in this Premier League season. This is one of the most obvious decisions being taken by a club; in fact, many experts were calling for this sacking months before when United first broke its own record of losing a maximum number of consecutive home games. Factually, this is not a surprise for anyone coz Moyes could never be a team leader for once Alex’s team who ruled Old Trafford for 26 long years. More importantly, he was the choice of resigning manager himself hence he had to support him in between but could no longer convince the bosses about his skill and talent to lead a team like Manchester United.

One of these clubs Sunderland doesn’t want to finish in there; hence it has started taking corrective action right now and fired its non performing head coach. Paolo Di Canio, who was appointed to lead The Lads in March, is now a history. The 45-year-old Italian could only gain his team one point out of five initial games, however, he won three games out of thirteen played since joining Margaret Byrne club. Since, no replacement is appointed by the club, his assistant Kevin Ball will be the serving coach for next few matches. Next few days are very crucial for Sunderland where they have to meet two powerhouses: Liverpool and Manchester United, so it would be a great challenge for Ball to renovate and rejuvenate his A-Team for upcoming showdowns. Though, Canio started his journey in England with some good performances, but he could not sustain what he … [Read more...]
