In comments before his team take on the Red Devils in the 15:00GMT Saturday match, Sunderland bo s Steve Bruce stated that he sees Jose Mourinho take over from Sir Alex Ferguson when the latter decides to retire. Bruce stated that he doesnt see Fergie retiring from the post in the near future, as his long-term career as manager of Manchester United is
Jake Bailey Jersey nearing 24 years (appointed on the 6th November 1986). Steve Bruce played for Manchester United in Fergies early years, between 1987 and 1996, playing 309 games and scoring 36 goals.He states that he sees
Cody Davis Jersey the Glazers looking for a foreign manager when Sir Alex retires, and Mourinho fits all their requirements perfectly. The manager that follows Ferguson will have a huge task of filling his boots, but Mourinho has the right ability and frame of mind to do this task. He always stated that
Tre Nixon Jersey he dreams of managing in England again after making Chelsea a football super-power between 2004 and 2007.An interesting fact is that Steve Bruce still calls Ferguson bo s, even though he no longer forms part of his team, and the same will happen on Saturday when the two fight it out for points at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland will be encouraged by Manchester Uniteds unimpre sive away record this season, but the Red Devils will be encouraged by the away win against Valencia in mid-week.The full comments of Steve Bruce were:
Youd have to say Jose Mourinho would be a huge candidate. Hes
Kendrick Bourne Jersey not lost at home in the league for 8 years. His record speaks for itself.Would they go for Mourinho, hes outspoken? I dont think theyll be getting a manager from Aberdeen like last time. The
Ben Coates Jersey previous regime might have gone for a British manager but Im not sure now.To manage a club of that size for that time-span is mind-blowing. His own personal health will determine how long he stays but after speaking to him in the last few weeks
Harvey Langi Jersey hes certainly got the hunger, and the desire is still there. But how do you follow that? Hes still got it. It was like with Sir Matt Busby. Whoever can or does, its a big challenge.I still call him bo s, hes the bo s. He calls himself the bo s as well just to make sure you dont get carried away.
