MANCHESTER UNITED SEARCH FOR AN IMPORTANT MISSING PIECE OVER! BUT WHAT TOOK SO LONG?






The search to fill the vacant director of football position at Manchester United football club has been a severely, elongated, task that just does not seem to have a solution to. At least that’s the image displayed at  Manchester United for the past three years at the very least.  

 

 

 

 



 

The Red Devils had been revealed to be a club in search of a qualified person to fill the vacant role for director of football for quite a while with the current club vice president ED Woodward, who used to be in charge of handling the duties of the club’s director of football, now resigned to focusing on the primary role of vice president of Manchester United. The decision e of vice president of Manchester United. The decision of e of vice president of Manchester United. The recent decision was most likely taken by club vice-president Ed Woodward to separate the duties of club vice-president from the duties of the director of football. 




With Manchester United now seemingly successful at separating the duties of a Sporting Director from the duties of a club Vice-Chairman, the following result means that Manchester United has excluded the role of club vice president from the role of director of football. As a result, a clear situation which was known by some football analysts and a clear problem which had been detected by numerous people within the Manchester United fan base now seems to have been revealed to the general population- Manchester United do not have an efficient director of football who operates independently from the board of directors at Manchester United football club. 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

Luis Campos, the former director of football for club side Lile, appears to be the number one name on the list of persons who can fill the vacant role of Director of football at Manchester United football club. The conversation over the long active open role of Director of football at Manchester United has been a conversation that has been talked about for quite a while simply because, in terms of how the management structure of any football club is built, the director of football is understood to be the person in any football club in charge of keeping tabs on the team, communicating with the main manager of the football club. 



Then the director of football is responsible for communicating those few problems to the Board of Directors and the Director of Football with the help of the Board of Directors at Manchester United try to find solutions to any roadblocks Ole Gunner Solskjaer might be facing. 

 

As a result of the absence of a Director of Football, the chain of communication between the last four managers and the Board of Directors at Manchester United seems to be limited. Hence, the reason why the current news of former Sporting director for Monaco AFC and former Lille Sporting director Luis Campos now in the market can be viewed as good news for Manchester United. In other words, part of the reason why Manchester United has struggled to secure big signings during the transfer window in the past few years is understood to be linked with the absence of a sporting director at the board of directors table at Manchester United football club.


 








From what is understood at Manchester United Channel, the job of a football director ranges from tasks such as making sure the players and managers within the club are comfortable with the different operations taking place within the club, to making the club is meeting the financial marks that need to be met within the club. A few more notable duties that fall on the shoulders of the director of football within any club is as follows: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A director of football is an executive that is the link between the first team manager and the board. They are also responsible for the short-term plans and long-term plans for the club and the Director of football offers stability even when the first team manager is sacked or when the first team manager resigns. Exact duties can vary for different clubs but in general, the duties of a Director of Football involves finding transfer targets that complement the transfer policies of the club. The duties of a director of football in any football club also include handling the contract of each player within the football club and taking care of the completion of each transfer coming in and taking care of the completion of each player moving away from Manchester United to another club.  





From this short outline of the duties of a football, director present at each club the realization of why Manchester United appear to struggle to secure big transfer target since the departure of the former director of football David Gill and this is in large part because Manchester United has not had a director of football since David Gill left the director of football job at Manchester United back in 2013. The reason being that Manchester United has not had an efficient person in charge as the director of football for the past eight years.  






 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the moment, Manchester United is yet to fill the role of Director of Football at Old Trafford. However, a list of candidates has been made available and what is understood of the topic is that Manchester United is intent on appointing the right man for the job before the start of the 2021 summer transfer window. 


A few of the names listed as candidates for the job of Director of Football at Manchester United include Dominic Booth, Luis Campos as previously mentioned, and Paul Mitchell are just some of the names Manchester United have listed for the job as director of football at Manchester United football club. No decisions have been made so far in terms of appointing anew director of football.  

 

 

 






However, what is expected to happen is that Manchester United will finalize the appointment of a new director of football a few months before the start of the 2021 summer transfer window with the intent of allowing the new Director of Football time to understand the goals and ambition of Manchester United which will better suit the new director of football to know what targets to aim for this 2021 Summer Transfer Window.
