As British and Dutch media reported, the Dutchman is said to have given his verbal commitment after extensive discussions. Accordingly, the 52-year-old will sign a four-year contract at Old Trafford. According to The Times newspaper, ten Hag’s signing could be officially announced as early as this month.
Rangnick should take on an advisory role
British media had previously reported on talks between Man United and ten Hag’s current employers Ajax Amsterdam. At Manchester, ten Hag would succeed interim coach Ralf Rangnick, who only held the post until the end of the season following Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer’s split. According to his contract, which runs until the summer of 2024, Rangnick will switch to an advisory role at Man United from the summer.
Ten Hag at Ajax Amsterdam since 2017
Ten Hag has been coaching the Dutch top club Ajax Amsterdam since 2017, which he led twice to the double (2019 and 2021) and once to the semi-finals of the Champions League (2019).
That year, Ajax were eliminated in the round of 16 after the club comfortably progressed through the group stage with six wins, including two against Borussia Dortmund. Ten Hag coached FC Bayern’s second team between 2013 and 2015.
