Manchester United's lineup is in a state of flux as former assistant coach Yannis Dallaire is stepping down, and the players are reluctant to let him go, hoping that he will stay on as a link with new coach Ruben Emolian.
The 48-year-old "cloud" returned to the assistant coach this summer, after the departure of Tan Hagar, he temporarily took over the caretaker, but did not want to say much. Despite being known as "Duke Backbone", he steadfastly refused to take over the manager's position, and United's senior management then decided to invite Rubin Emolian to join the team.
The players have been supportive of "Yun" since he became an assistant coach. During the Tannhäuser era, the players had more trust in "Yunlao" and to some extent, Tannhäuser has been marginalized. Recently, the team's form has picked up with "Yunlao" as caretaker, proving that the players' support is not in vain.
What makes "Cloudy" so popular is his unique way of communicating, and the players want him to stay on in some form.
The new coach, Emmanuel Amorim, will be joining the club with his coaching team, and further communication is needed as to whether or not "Yun" will be accompanying him. Meanwhile, United also hope that another assistant coach, the famous player Fecha, who plays a vital role between the team and the youth camp, will stay on.
