Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says he can envisage captain Roy Keane managing the club. Sir Alex, who is on a one-year rolling contract, told Management Today magazine that Keane has the right credentials to become coach.
"I can see him as manager here. He's intelligent and decisive," said the 63-year-old Scot.
"What's the most important thing you need as a manager? To be willing to make a decision. That's his nature."
Ferguson, who announced he was going to retire in 2002 before changing his mind, insists he has no plans to quit yet. But he has already tipped Portuguese assistant Carlos Queiroz, who had a spell in charge of Real Madrid, to take over from him when he finally does decide to go.
