Some analytics firm that used to be involved in mainly investment banking have been getting into Football and did a Man United manager search based on an algorithm they created and here are the results . They did one for Liverpool right after Klopp announced he was leaving.

Recently, Carteret Analytics conducted an extensive review of potential managers to replace Erik ten Hag, who has been under increasing scrutiny at Manchester United. While we’ve explored various candidates for the Dutchman’s position on this platform, none have been analysed with the same level of detail as Carteret Analytics provides.

To begin their analysis, Carteret Analytics reviewed the achievements and progress of several notable managers over the past six years, including Ruben Amorim, Zinedine Zidane, Simone Inzaghi, Thomas Tuchel, Kieran McKenna, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Erik ten Hag, Gareth Southgate, Graham Potter, Michael Carrick, Roberto De Zerbi, and Thomas Frank.

From there, the team focused on determining each manager’s “Football Intelligence,” a metric measured through the combination of two key factors: Strategic Intelligence and Tactical Command. While these aspects of management might typically be seen as qualitative, Carteret Analytics provided specific parameters for both, offering insight into how they quantified this metric for each manager.

The Best Statistical Choice To Be The Next Manchester United Manager

1. Ruben Amorim is highlighted as the best candidate, with the highest Strategic Intelligence (88.24) and Tactical Command (6.5), as well as a top-tier Attacking Coefficient (25.71). His success with Sporting CP, using a well-structured 3–4–3 system, makes him an attractive option for Manchester United’s desire to return to an attacking brand of football.
2. Zinedine Zidane ranks second, largely due to his proven track record at Real Madrid, where his high Attacking Coefficient (25.73) and ability to handle top-level players successfully contributed to multiple Champions League titles.
3. Simone Inzaghi comes in third, praised for his high Strategic Intelligence Rating (82.46) and balance between offensive and defensive organisation. His ability to craft effective game plans, particularly in high-stakes matches, adds to his appeal.
4. Thomas Tuchel, despite being ranked fourth, brings strong credentials. His flexibility in tactics and success at Chelsea, including a Champions League win, make him a viable candidate, especially since he is currently available for a potential managerial shift.
