#3 Marcelino Garcia Toral
Taking over the basket case that is Valencia is a challenge that would have scared even the hardiest of coaches but it is a challenge that Marcelino embraced.
He joined the club at a time when Los Che was in utter shambles. Under his firm but fair leadership, the club has been reborn as the playing squad has been transformed the team into a rugged, cohesive unit that plays brilliant attacking football while remaining solid at the back.
His sterling work was also evident at Villarreal. Taking over a team that had been relegated and forced to sell its best assets, he led the team back to La Liga and three consecutive top-six finishes including a Europa League semi-final.
At each of his most recent jobs, he has clearly shown his ability to work wonders even with restrictions and his ability to blood academy players is one that fits in with United’s ethos.
While his attacking philosophy is apparent wherever he has gone, he is very meticulous with his team’s defensive work and is a coach who is always seeking to improve upon what he has and find solutions from within.
This would be a sea change from the mood-dampening football that the team has been playing under Mourinho. While he may not be the big name most fans would be hoping for, his penchant for improving youth players and playing attacking football is sure to win them over if he is signed.
