Manchester United appoint South African football legend as first team coach

Manchester United on Saturday announced the signing of South African football legend, Benni McCarthy as first team coach

The Red Devils have announced the former FC Porto and Blackburn striker as one of the first team coaches

McCarthy had a decent time in the Premier League where he represented Blackburn Rovers. The 2004 UEFA Champions League winner also managed South African Premier Soccer League side, Amazulu and led them to second position two seasons ago.

The former West Ham forward will specialise in attacking play and positioning of strikers.

“McCarthy left his post as AmaZulu head coach in March after guiding the South African team to a record second position in the league. In 2020/21, he was named the South African Premier League’s Coach of the Season.

“The ex-forward will specialise in coaching attacking plays and positioning,” a Manchester United statement said.

“The coaching team is now in place ahead of the start of the 2022/23 season, with Brighton & Hove Albion visiting Old Trafford on Sunday 7 August in our Premier League opener.

“Ten Hag will work closely with assistants Mitchell van der Gaag and Steve McClaren, with Benni slotting in alongside Eric Ramsay and Darren Fletcher as coaches. Former midfielder Fletcher also has a wider remit as technical director, overseeing the path from Academy to the first team, plus players out on loan.

“Richard Hartis and Craig Mawson are the goalkeeping coaches.

“Everybody would like to extend a warm welcome to Benni, upon joining the club,”
