Eric Ramsay believes Manchester United have all the ingredients to go to the next level under Ineos 바카라 but Erik ten Hag바카라s former coach felt he had to leave for a dream first managerial job at Minnesota United. (More Football News)
The 32-year-old swapped Uniteds following March바카라s derby defeat at Manchester City, with his move to the Twin Cities seeing him become the youngest permanent manager in Major League Soccer history.
It is an exciting new chapter in an impressive coaching journey that led Ramsay to Swansea, Shrewsbury and Chelsea before joining Ole Gunnar Solskjaer바카라s coaching set-up in June 2021.
Initially focused on individual players and set-plays, the Welshman바카라s remit broadened over time and he is looking forward to putting his experiences into practice as Minnesota바카라s second-ever head coach.
바카라I have never been desperate to be a head coach by a certain age or a certain point,바카라 Ramsay told the PA news agency ahead of his first match in charge against Los Angeles FC this weekend.
바카라But I felt naturally I was sort of gravitating toward that opportunity coming.
바카라I바카라ve had some opportunities over the course of the last two years to go into the Championship or League One and for whatever reason haven바카라t pursued those.
바카라The club itself is phenomenally well set up. The ownership is really stable. I think that바카라s incredibly attractive for a first-time head coach.
바카라From a club perspective, the league and the wider US context, in terms of the competitions being held here in the coming years, the general feel around the sport, I think it바카라s as perfect an opportunity as I바카라ll get.바카라
Ramsay also had a stint working with Wales during his time at United, where he felt like he squeezed in a lot at an institution that garners 바카라endless attention바카라 and 바카라feels like no other club바카라.
The 32-year-old never got caught up in the background noise 바카라 바카라if you as a coach were to be too drawn into that then you바카라d lose focus on what you바카라re there to do바카라 바카라 and enjoyed his time there despite the difficult spells.
바카라To have the opportunity to be one step removed from three managers and Michael Carrick, working at Man United over two-and-a-half years, I don바카라t think you바카라re getting better preparation for your own role as head coach because it바카라s a really trying set of circumstances with a lot of intensity,바카라 Ramsay said.
바카라(Erik) is obviously incredibly focused, has real conviction as to how he wants the team to play, how he feels the group should be managed, as you바카라d expect of anyone who hits that level as a manager.
바카라Obviously, he바카라s had some difficult circumstances to deal with this year, so hopefully once that gets cleaned up then we바카라re going to see the trajectory recaptured that we saw last year.바카라
Injuries have proven the main difficulty in a bumpy season and Ten Hag is under the spotlight heading into Sunday바카라s FA Cup quarter-final against rivals Liverpool.
But Ramsay is confident better times lie around the corner at Old Trafford, having been impressed by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team.
바카라As has been presented in the media and as I바카라m sure you바카라ve heard lots of people say, the Ineos vision for Man United is really exciting,바카라 Ramsay said.
바카라They, as well, have a lot of conviction in how elite sports teams should look and feel.
바카라There is a genuine Ineos way that I think the combination of that and the way in which Erik wants to operate, it could be a really exciting combination.
바카라I think you바카라ve got some phenomenally bright people now attached to the club, through the likes of Dave Brailsford and the people that they will inevitably bring in to wrap around the existing structure.
바카라So, I do think all the ingredients are there for the club to really move on to the next level.
바카라I said this to the Ineos guys as I was leaving, I바카라m loathed in some senses (to go) because I think I was probably a nice fit for the way in which they wanted to go about things.
바카라I felt like it would take a lot from them and their way of working.
바카라But, personally, I felt like this opportunity from my individual perspective was one that I couldn바카라t turn down in spite of all that positivity around the club.바카라
