Warnock: I m very interested in coaching Xie Wednesday and don t mind joining the arch-enemy team
Not long ago, Sheffield officially confirmed on Wednesday that head coach Danny Leal reached an agreement with the club to officially leave office. Regarding the newly released coaching seat, famous English coach Neil Warnock expressed interest in an interview with talkSPORT.
Warnock said: "Well, you have to say you're willing. At my age? Oh my god, nothing can be said to be impossible."
"This is a good club and it really needs to be managed well. I don't think they have achieved continuous success."
"I mean, the fans are very enthusiastic and they support it as always no matter what level the team is down to."
"See some players because of the It is indeed regrettable to leave the same issue, but all the excellent clubs will rebound. "
" Yesterday I was watching the schedule, which should be in December. Sheffield United will play against Sheffield Wednesday. I was just thinking about when I could go there to watch the game."
According to talkSPORT, Warnock expressed his interest in the job after Sheffield fired Munoos on Wednesday in October 2023. Although not appointed, the 76-year-old coach revealed that former boss Mandarich had contacted him.
"I remember Mandarich asked me, and I said, 'Okay, I'm willing to do it'. But I said, 'This is a Friday afternoon, you have weekends to think about it, discuss it with your CEO and several other employees. If you still want me on Monday, I'll come.'"
"At the time, because I felt unfairly treated at Sheffield United, I wanted to give it a try. Monday morning, he called me and said, 'Neil, I understand what you mean, let's just forget it.' This is probably the closest I'm going to join the archenemy." Warnock had coached Sheffield United from 1999 to 2007, but he also talked about the impact of Sheffield Wednesday on his career.
"Sheffield Wednesday made me who I am, or who I was," he explained.
"It was the best club when I was a kid. I watched Santos' Bailey scored a penalty on Wednesday against Sheffield, which was a magical moment for me."
"It was sad. I know there was competition between the two clubs, but it was a very good club and Sheffield was a very good place."
"I believe everything will be fine, and I hope the club can change the owner and bring some stability."
