Recently, former Manchester United assistant coach and current Minnesota United manager Eric Ramsey was interviewed by the Daily Mail, sharing his growth from Manchester United assistant coach to Minnesota United manager, as well as his mindset in facing challenges and looking to the future.
During his time as an assistant coach at Manchester United, Ramsey gained a deep appreciation of the invaluable experience of working with a top coach, Temhag. He mentioned that Temhag was a man of true strength and conviction, and that the calmness and determination he showed when facing the team's difficulties had a profound effect on him. Ramsey said that by watching how Ten Hagar led his team through difficult times, he learned how to remain calm in the face of adversity and how to develop effective strategies to move his team forward.
Speaking about why he chose to leave Manchester United in February this year, Ramsey said it was an opportunity he couldn't turn down. He believes that this transition will allow him to further his personal and professional career. Although it was a difficult decision to leave United, Ramsey had an in-depth conversation with Ten Hagar and received understanding and support from the other side. He is grateful for the trust and opportunity given to him by Ten Hagar, as well as the help and support given by the United team during his tenure.
After becoming the head coach of Minnesota United, Ramsey faced many challenges. Replacing Heath, who has rich coaching experience, and the complex age structure of the players in the team all tested his leadership and adaptability. However, Ramsey has won the respect and trust of the players with his unique communication style and big-brother-like care. He firmly believes that age and seniority are not a problem as long as he can sincerely communicate with the players and help them solve their problems.
Looking back on his experience working with big names such as Crowe, Cavani and Pogba, Ramsey said he never felt pressured. He has always remained humble and cautious, trying to earn the trust and respect of the players. He believes that as long as he can do his job and keep working hard, he will be able to win recognition and achieve greater success in his career.
Looking ahead, Ramsey is confident and excited about Minnesota United. He plans to continue to build a closer relationship with his players and improve the overall strength of the team through scientific training and effective tactical arrangements. He believes that in the near future, Minnesota United will be able to achieve even better results in the league and win more support and love from fans.
