In the new owners office was sat the owner and the recently hired director of football Luis Goncalves who was hired from Shakhter Donetsk they were trying to decide on who to hire as coach between Marco Bielsa and Carlo Ancelotti.
"While Marco Bielsa could help us build us build and integrate younger players he doesn't have an Outstanding record in comparison with Ancelotti and besides we need a coach with a proven track record" said Shola who preferred to hire Ancelotti as coach and due to his future knowledge of his success as a coach
After saying that Luis couldn't help but agree as it made sense to hire Ancelotti and he also agreed about United needing a coach who had a proven track record "I agree with that and we need to hire a new Head of Development" after ruffling through some sheet of paper "from our preliminary conversations we ended up on Steve Weaver as a potential candidate do you still want him or we hire someone else" he asked
"Hire him and make him Head of development also Make Jim Lawlor our head scout and fill in the last three spaces for scouts we have with David Trezeguet, David Mills and Johann Eder and set up a meeting with Ancelotti's agent so we can have our coach and start with our transfer"
