3 realistic replacements for Jose Mourinho

#1 Zinedine Zidane

Widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time, Zinedine Zidane also continued his dominance in the managerial position this time. With just 2 and a half seasons with Real Madrid, he prosperously won 9 trophies, including 3 Champions Leagues in a row.

Zinedine Zidane will most likely continue to dominate with the current Manchester United squad and bring in an incredibly positive atmosphere, with Jose Mourinho failing to that at this moment which might cost him the job.

The Frenchman likes to work with what he has without causing a turmoil inside the club, also has a good record for playing La Fábrica prospects. Zidane's strongest side is perhaps his ability to quickly adapt from one formation to another without the players struggling in a different formation/system.

Zidane will also influence the player's decisions within the transfer window, everyone wants to be coached by one of the greatest midfielders of all time and at this point, it will be hard for some player to decline that offer. The former Real Madrid manager will bring instability, a change of style and most importantly trophies which he splendidly showcased that during his spell at Real Madrid.

With 9 trophies in just 2 and a half season, Zidane is surely Woodward's number one target to replace Jose Mourinho this summer with the World Cup winner being a free agent, after unexpectedly quitting the Real Madrid job last summer.
