[edit] Managerial career

[edit] Burnley

Born in Bolton, Lancashire, Mangnall started his career in football management with Burnley in 1899 and in his first season the club were relegated to the Second Division. In the 1902–03 season, Burnley were forced to apply for re-election to the league and Mangnall left the club.

[edit] Manchester United

He was hired as the third secretary of Manchester United and the second after the club changed its name from Newton Heath (the term 'manager' was not used at United until the arrival of Jack Robson). He was to become the first successful manager at United. He started his management at Manchester United in 1903 and saw his team narrowly miss promotion in his first two seasons before success at the third attempt. In the first season in the First Division the club finished in mid-table. However, in only their second season in the First Division, he managed United to their first ever League Championship in 1907–08 by a nine-point margin over Aston Villa. The following year saw United drop below mid-table but the club won its first FA Cup with a 1-0 victory in the final against Bristol City, the winner scored by Sandy Turnbull. The following season saw no new silverware but the team improved its league position to fifth. The following season the club were champions again, again beating Aston Villa into second place, this time by just one point; that would be club's last league championship for over 40 years - its longest ever run without a league title. The next season was his last in charge at the club; he would eventually leave for a similar position at Manchester City.

[edit] Manchester City

Mangnall moved to Manchester City directly from United. His last game in charge of the Reds was the Manchester derby of September 1912 against City when it was already known he would become City manager. The Blues won 1-0 at Old Trafford and the media focused on Mangnall's delight.^[1]

He managed City from 1912 until 1924, the interruption of World War I would mean his spell there only covered eight Football League seasons however the Club did find success in wartime regional tournaments. His best season with the club was 1920-21, when City would finish runners up in the first division, the top level of English football at the time.

Mangnall's place in Mancunian football is significant as many believe he was the instigator behind United's move to Old Trafford and City's move to Maine Road.^[2]
