George Smith: 尼克·考克斯即将离开曼联,加入埃弗顿担任技术总监。他在曼联的青训学院工作期间,为球队带来了许多令人难以置信的时刻,包括年轻球员的首次亮相和2022年青年足总杯的胜利。他的离开将在曼联留下一个巨大的空缺,需要有人来填补。不过,他将在离职前负责一个过渡时期。 Samuel Luckhurst: 尼克·考克斯的离职对曼联来说是一个重大的损失。我记得我刚开始在《曼彻斯特晚报》工作时,曼联青训学院的名声主要靠路易斯·范加尔提拔到一线队的几名球员来维持,但坦率地说,他们被过分提拔了。当时,青训学院的状况非常糟糕。2016年,尼克·考克斯加入了俱乐部。在接下来的几年里,你可以看到青训学院正在取得进步。在奥莱·冈纳尔·索尔斯克亚的领导下,青训学院似乎获得了更多的关注。2019年夏天,尼克·考克斯晋升为青训学院主管。他很有远见,预见到了英国脱欧法规的实施,这将限制俱乐部签下18岁以下的海外球员。他还说服了亚历杭德罗·加纳乔在疫情期间加盟曼联。考克斯在规划年轻球员的职业道路方面做了大量工作。俱乐部认为考克斯的离开是一个损失,因为学院在他任职期间取得了成功。即使鲁本·阿莫林对青训学院的使用方式有时很奇怪,但2023-24赛季仍然是曼联青训学院的三冠王赛季。总的来说,尼克·考克斯在曼联青训学院的工作非常出色,他的离开对俱乐部来说是一个巨大的损失。

Welcome to the latest episode of the Samuel Luckhurst Show from the Manchester Evening News, hosted by George Smith alongside United’s chief writer, Samuel Luckhurst.

With the transfer window in a lull and the PSR deadline looming, Samuel and George go in-depth on one of the week’s biggest stories: Nick Cox’s departure as Manchester United Academy chief and what it means for the club’s future. We look back at Cox’s legacy, the revival of United’s youth set-up, the rise of stars like Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, and the challenges ahead for whoever takes over.

PLUS: In the second half, Samuel & George take you behind the scenes at the MEN – what it’s really like covering United through the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Samuel shares memories from a decade on the patch, his standout moments as a journalist, and what it’s like reporting through both United’s triumphs and turbulent times.
