In a stunning twist, Manchester United are reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing back former striker Carlos Tevez – not as a player, but as part of Erik ten Hag's coaching staff.
The Argentine icon, now 40, left Old Trafford under a cloud in 2009 after switching to rivals Manchester City. However, sources suggest United's hierarchy believe Tevez's fiery passion and winning mentality could benefit their young squad.
From Controversy to Coaching?
Tevez's potential return would mark one of football's most surprising reunions. During his two-year stint at United (2007-2009), he helped secure two Premier League titles and the Champions League before his acrimonious departure.
Since retiring in 2022, Tevez has:
- Managed Rosario Central in Argentina
- Expressed interest in European coaching roles
- Maintained contact with several former United teammates
Why Ten Hag Wants Tevez
Insiders claim United's Dutch manager admires Tevez's:
- Relentless work ethic
- Big-game mentality
- Proven track record in English football
The move could prove controversial given Tevez's City connections, but United appear willing to put past tensions aside for what they see as a coaching coup.
No official approach has been made yet, but this developing story could shake up the Premier League's summer narrative.
