The way some manager talk in the press conference is a bit disappointing, as a manager to make a name for yourself you need to change the mentality of the club you're handling and always stay positive, winning trophies is also the number 1 task you need to accomplish but Manchester United coach says things the way he feels without mind if his reputation is at stake. How can he say the team doesn't have what it takes to win trophies? Like he doesn't even have confidence in the squad he is managing even if they are not good enough to deliver but you are there as the coach to help them from that suffering stage, to me it speaks low of him that he isn't capable of managing any club.
I agree with what
Cristiano Ronaldo said, it is too poor for the manager to have that weakness and even letting the public know they can't compete for any title, which means the game against Southampton is going to be a game they're going to lose. I now see why some Manchester United players perform very well when playing for their country but awfully while playing for UTD. ETH has lost it and to me he doesn't deserve the chance to continue with the club.
Though I have not come across this statement but I think with how you narrated it, he actually said that, that's to say that he is not supposed to be a coach of a club like Manchester United because he lack all it takes to manage such football club, even If he was gonna say that it shouldn't be in the public, he should actually be telling the owner of the club what he wants in other to build the club to the desired level since he failed to do that I think it is a mispriority for him, having said that I think all the blame should go to him because this statement of his has shown that he doesn't know his duty as a manager, if a manager must say things the way he thinks that's good for him, he should be optimal in his assignment as a coach, if he is this anxious to say his mind in the public which am not actually against, why can't he apply this anger to his coaching job to give his team the best coaching experience they have ever seen or had.
His utmost concern as a manager is supposed to be bringing trophies to the club and if he feels that the team he is managing can't bring such success, instead of giving silly excuses, it will be better for him to complain to the management and tell them what is needed to be done in other to achieve the success the team want.
Since it has gotten to the extent of him coming to the public to say things like this, the club should be looking for his replacement because this kind of statement can make the players to start underperforming since they are not valued by their manager and it could lead to a dressing room issues that may result to weakening the morale of the entire player and we all know the dangers accompanied with such events happening.
