Ajax coach Erik ten Hag is leaving for Manchester United. The coach would have reached an agreement on a multi-year contract. Report it AD and The Telegraph this evening.
The rumors have been in the air for some time, but now Ten Hag seems to want to take up the challenge. The 52-year-old coach would sign a contract for three seasons and possibly a fourth season.
Previously, national coach Louis van Gaal, who has been a trainer of ‘the reds’ himself, had advised Ten Hag not to go to the club. This is because, according to Van Gaal, Manchester United is a commercial club, and not a football club. There is a lot of money, but achievements have not been forthcoming in recent years. Several trainers were also fired prematurely.
The British club is not the only party that has made an offer to Ten Hag. RB Leipzich also preyed on the Dutch coach.
Negotiations are not yet over. According to The Telegraph gives the Ajax coach a blow on the million-dollar deal after the cup final, which will be played on Sunday. The English have to buy off the one-year contract with Ajax. It is said that this amounts to an amount of two million euros.
