Manchester United icon Paul Scholes must be the head coach of the fourth-best English variety.

Here he has signed a contract with the club Oldham Athletic, which currently limits a life as number 14 in the English League Two.

The legendary midtbanemotor thus follows in the footsteps of the former colleagues of the English national team Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, as both began trænergerningen in the summer.

That the choice has just fallen on Oldham is hardly a coincidence, since the former midtbanemotor have been a fan of the club from a young age.

And I am owner, Abdallah Lemsagam, as in an interview with BBC Sport tells that there has been work to get agreement in the house for a while

– It is no secret how much Paul has been interested in the job in the past, and how much he loves the club. So I am very pleased to be able to make him part of the family here in the seat of Oldham Athletic, he says.

Paul Scholes played in his active career of 718 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 155 goals in all tournaments. He made 66 appearances for England.

He was a part of the club’s legendary youth cohort ‘Class of 92’, which in addition to Scholes spoke names such as David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Gery and Phil Neville and Nicky Butt.

The only manager, as Paul Scholes managed to play under in his career, was Sir Alex Ferguson, and in their time together reached the midfielder to win 11 Premier League titles, three FA Cups, two League Cup trophies and two Champions League titles.
