Rui Faria
Rui Faria, Jose Mourinho’s trusted confidante and assistant, will leave Manchester United at the end of the season.
The 42-year-old, who was linked with the vacant manager’s post at Arsenal, wants to spend more time with his family before testing himself as a head coach and leaves with Mourinho’s blessing.
Faria has worked with Mourinho for 17 years and his departure will spark questions; who can replace him, with club captain Michael Carrick considered an early contender.
