You look at Conte who managed in the lower leagues in Italy and was relegated with Arezzo. He got his shot in Serie A and quit with Atalanta 19th position. Then in came Juventus, largely on the basis he was a former captain who fit their culture, and he's never looked back. Why did De Boer get the Ajax job, Pochettino get the Espanyol job, Simeone get the Atletico job, Klopp get the Mainz job, Zidane get the Madrid job... all former leaders/captains who fit the culture. Keano is our version of these guys, but better. An example missing from the list above is Guardiola at Barcelona who I wanted to mention separately. Prior to the 08/09 season it was a straight fight between Mourinho and Guardiola for the Barcelona job. Mourinho with multiple league titles, domestic cups, the UEFA Cup and Champions League to his name. Guardiola who was inexperienced and completely untested at the top level. The board chose Guardiola on the basis that he best fit the club culture. Given he made them arguably the best team in the history of the game, it was the right decision. Culture over trophies all day – this is the example the United board should follow. |

Fergies knowledge of psychology and man management is as skilled as anyone that's ever managed. If you think keane's man mangement is on a par with Fergie there's not much left to say. I dare say it's something he's been working on as he seems to have learnt from his previous experiences, and i do think he will be a top manager once he's done his time learning the craft. In the next ten years he needs to stand out managing a club like forest and then he has a shot. |

"He (Keane) was the most influential presence in the dressing room in the time we worked together. Roy took a lot of onus off me in making sure the dressing room was operating at a high level of motivation." That was as a player but Keane led by his will and that is a leadership skill transferable from captain to manager. Thus why 6 months before their fallout, Fergie said this: - "But when I do move on I would like to see Roy Keane taking over. And so it has proven: - “He (Keane) wants better things all the time and he is a great manager to have around you. He is always trying to get the best out of everyone and produce a great team. I think that's enough on Keano's motivational ability. So far as I'm concerned he's second only to Fergie. Oh and because you mentioned it, he likes a read of sports psychology books too. |

Keane can have the united job when he's learnt his trade as assistant and then made a success of his next managerial job. I'd be ecstatic if he made it. Quote:

Also Fergie was an assistant under Jock Stein at Scotland and it didn't hurt him. Quote:
