René Hake: United's NEW Assistant Coach 🇳🇱 📈

News has broken that United are set to add another HEAD COACH to Erik Ten Hag’s backroom staff.

It's not a common theme in football but it's a huge trend in other sports — NBA, NFL, NRL, etc. — for proven top coaches to be brought in as assistants not just to bring their expertise & qualities to the current management team but to also allow for succession/contingency plans.

Back in April, when major doubts began to arise around Ten Hag’s future with the Athletic also confirming it was all but decided to part ways with Ten Hag, contingencies were still being considered due to the fact United still especially didn’t have Ashworth or Berrada in office to finalize such a big decision.

It appears as though that's when they began to consider the option of revamping the backroom coaching staff and bringing in someone they trusted who could step in if needed. It seems like that plan is now unfolding.

This approach serves as a solid contingency plan: having more coaches allows for a better distribution of duties and provides players with diverse personalities and voices to interact with. It's a ready-made backup plan and, in my opinion, a good pivot after deciding not to let him go.

    Wow Ste wasn’t lying when he said that there was a shit load of videos coming today. Love this guy and the effort he puts in, thanks for everything Ste
  • @daveysgb
    I'm liking the fact that all the stories that are coming out so far, haven't sounded ridiculous and would be positive if they happen.
  • @mr_red13
    This is far more than the OTHER owners did in recent years. This is a step in the right direction.
  • @James-gm9cs
    It's like appointing Mulentseen/Queiros. Hopefully we're going down the 'specialist coach' route. So one coach focused on defending, one coach focused on attacking plays, etc. Fletcher's role is just going to be 1st team transition coach for youth players and maybe new senior players to help them settle in and get up to speed. And we could easily have more than just 2 of those appointments. Evans as a player/coach is a possibility, I'd love to see Mata come back as a technical coach.
  • I wish Ralf Rangnick was still here..best guy in this open heart surgery situations
  • Given that we can’t spend our way back to the top we’re going to have to get more out of what we’ve got. This is classic Dave Brailsford. Marginal improvements across every aspect of a performance.
  • @joshdunn3186
    Fab literally said on one of the last YouTube videos that he put out that Inneos have been prioritizing a new contract ext for EtH to show him their backing and during their meetings that they were going to be asking him and involving him in these new assistant coach positions to the point he even says EtH called Ruud himself and asked him to come join him and he has also been involved in this new coach because he was literally described as a version of Ten Hag style manager....ppl keep pushing this mad narrative about some contingency plan when Inneos are literally backing him and giving him a new contract...Eth is the manager and he will finally have a proper structure and team around him with a good environment that he will be able to thrive in and United will be able to finally be headed in the right direction for the first time in over a decade!! UTFR!!!

    This is a american thing. Not usually used for succession but to bring fresh ideas to the back room. To motivate specific players or to cover up weak spots of the head coach.
  • @u10722u
    Let’s sign Jaap Stam to sort out the defence especially at set pieces
  • I think, considering what ten Hag was working with at Ajax he's not going to be too bothered by this. I know he is something of a control freak, but if that is controlled through proper demarcation, and he is not having to fuck about dealing with shit that distracts him from doing the things he is good at, he's smart enough to take that. Let him build his profiles, print his folders full of plans, colour code them, and date stamp everything for individual training and development plans along with practical group integration. And then let him implement them and run the team. Everyone else's responsibility should be making sure that there is a squad of fit, healthy, well disciplined, contented players ready to do their jobs, and making sure that no bullshit gets in the way of delivering on the field. Everyone has a role, and everyone knows their role, and what everyone else is responsible for. Streamline internal communications and processes and have accountability. This is what INEOS do with their sports brands. United is their biggest. Don't be at all surprised if some of the shit they learned from running an F1 team, or their cycling team, or the New Zealand fucking All Blacks, and start implementing NEW styles and systems to football.
  • @calcareadk
    It is much more relevant who Tomas Haake is. He could really get any team going :)
  • @dubzmusic1608
    Loving the context and indepth reporting on this one ste…nva heard of him so sone backdrop helps.👊🏾
  • @Comeatm3br0
    Love the NRL mention, I feel like we use the assistant coach system incredibly well here
  • I think this is a smart move to accelerate the teams growth and youth development. We have 3 head coaches with different specialties who can take players under their wing and into first team experience/success..a la Mainoo. As well as give the senior players more confidence.
  • @DG-kampfer422
    Coaching staff structure sounds like it going more towards like American football teams where you have a GM, head coach, OC, DC, special teams coach, etc etc, they've got tons of different coaches in their teams.
  • @GBst1007
    United have to be paying Ruud and Rene BIG money for this
  • @mjaa753
    Good video ,been watching linekar pod casts as you mentioned him ,funny ,enjoyed .
  • @IR._
    We’ve not only lost Benni McCarthy recently but also Eric Ramsay. 2 of the more significant coaches in Ten Hag’s team. The latter started as a set piece coach but apparently moved into a broader and more important role. Could just be straight replacements, albeit pretty big upgrades
  • @lodersracing
    Good to see they are building and improving on what we have. Rather than starting from scratch.
  • Confusing but in a positive way, each coach seem to have specific strengths which is positive. Fingers crossed everything clicks and we see the fruits of each coaches labour's.
