Who is John Murtough, Manchester United s new director of football?
March 10, 2021
Manchester United’s attempts appointing a director of football has become a running joke among supporters over the past couple of years.
Dating back to Jose Mourinho days, this was cited as an aspiration to set the club up in a new direction.
When Mourinho was fired, it was suggested back in 2018 that United’s priority would be to hire a director of football before a manager, via the MEN.
Nothing happened, but rumours have been ongoing, and usually seen as a way to placate fans in a way of ‘it will get better’ after numerous disappointing transfer windows.
Six teams are to compete in Székely Land this summer to become the first CONIFA Women’s World Cup champions.
The Confederation of Independent FA’s, is the football federation for all associations outside FIFA, that supports representatives of international teams from nations, de-facto nations, regions, minority peoples and sports-isolated territories.
CONIFA held its inaugural men’s World Football Cup in June 2014, while Sapmi and Northern Cyprus played in its first-ever official women’s match in November 2018.
The draw placed Northern Cyprus in Group A alongside Hungary-based hosts Székely Land and Chameria, while Sapmi will face the Kernow Football Alliance and Cascadia in Group B.
