"Manchester United" executives ran out of patience. The club is preparing to part ways with coach David Moyes. The decision should be made by the team's leaders in the coming days or weeks, as it is believed that the manager may not finish the season.
"The Guardian" reports that the club's owners, the Glazer family, and vice president Ed Woodward have started to doubt whether the Scotsman is suitable to continue leading the team.
The patience of the executives was tested after the team's 0:2 loss to Liverpool's Everton in the English Championship on Sunday. It became clear then that it's only a matter of time before such a decision is made.
Under the magnifying glass, D. Moyes has been since last month, when he lost 0:3 to Liverpool.
The Glazers and E. Woodward were willing to be patient, but had to admit that the signs show the team's play only deteriorating, and the players have stopped trying, according to dailymail.co.uk.
Currently, the executives' plan is to dismiss the Scotsman at the end of the season, but the situation has developed in such a way that a decision could be made late on Monday evening or in the coming days. If D. Moyes is dismissed before the end of the season, it is believed that the club legend Ryan Giggs will be entrusted with finishing the season.
Among the contenders to sign a long-term contract with "Manchester United" are Borussia Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp, Dutchman Louis van Gaal, and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.
D. Moyes began coaching "Manchester United" in May last year, when Sir Alex Ferguson left the club.
In the English Championship, "Manchester United" currently holds seventh place. The Manchester club was eliminated from the Champions League in the quarterfinals.
