Tuesday 20-01-2026
Spanish press reports revealed the entry of a new name into the circle of interests of Manchester United as it searches for a new coach to lead the team in the upcoming phase, following the dismissal of Portuguese coach Rúben Amorim.

The website "Fichajes" mentioned that Manchester United has included Niko Kovač, the current head coach of the German club Borussia Dortmund, among the candidates to take over the team's coaching, as Old Trafford's management seeks to rebuild a technical project capable of pulling the club out of its ongoing crisis.

According to the same source, Manchester United's management is studying several options, despite Michael Carrick taking the role temporarily, and the club does not rule out hiring a new coach before the end of the season if the right name is available.

The site pointed out that Kovač is valued within Manchester United due to his previous experience with major clubs and his strict personality, which club officials see as necessary to impose discipline inside the dressing room, despite the controversy surrounding his recent technical performance with Borussia Dortmund.

The report clarified that the mention of Niko Kovač's name has sparked a division within sports circles, both in England and Germany, while Manchester United continues to study all possible alternatives before making a final decision regarding the future of the coaching staff.
