Dutch giants and four-time European Cup winners Ajax are reportedly interested in bringing Erik ten Hag back to the club.
According to a report by Daily Mirror, Erik ten Hag is the subject of interest from Ajax. The Dutch giants want to bring the 54-year-old back to the Johan Cruijff ArenA ahead of the 2024/25 season, with Liverpool assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders also a target for the four-time European Cup winners.
Erik ten Hag has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Manchester United from Ajax ahead of the 2022/23 season. The Red Devils were desperate to turn things around and return to the top of English football when they handed the Dutchman the job over 18 months ago. And his team showed positive signs in his debut season.
The 54-year-old oversaw a successful season that saw Manchester United win the EFL Cup, reach the FA Cup final and finish in the top three of the Premier League. But 2023/24 has been a horrific campaign for Manchester United and ten Hag, who has employed questionable tactics throughout this term.
The Red Devils have lost nearly as many games as they have won, and the pressure is mounting on ten Hag to turn things around. And recent reports have claimed that he might not be at Manchester United when the 2024/25 season begins. With the club embarking on a new era after the arrival of new minority owners, things might change considerably behind the scenes.
So, Erik ten Hag faces an uncertain time at Manchester United, with the club already eyeing several candidates, including Thomas Frank, as potential replacements. But Ajax might offer him an escape route as they look for a new manager.
John van’t Schip will likely leave Ajax after the 2024/25 season ends, and the four-time European Cup winners are keen on landing a new manager this summer. Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has thus emerged as a target for the Dutch outfit. But they are also keen on landing ten Hag.
The report claims that Erik ten Hag is one of Ajax’s top targets to take over as the new head coach next term. With his job at Manchester United under threat, returning to his old stomping grounds might be what the doctor ordered.
