Erik ten Hag has been confirmed as the next person to take over at Manchester United, but he has a job in the Netherlands to finish first.
The deal will start in the summer
The Dutch manager has been confirmed as the next head coach of the Red Devils in a deal that starts in the summer and runs through 2025, and he is absolutely determined to deliver long-awaited success for a disgruntled fan base. Erik ten Hag will not inherit the prestige post in England until the 2021-22 campaign comes to a close, with Ralf Rangnick remaining at the helm of Man Utd until then. Erik has vowed to continue giving his all to Ajax for now, but is looking forward to starting a new adventure with PL heavyweights who have gone five years without a trophy.
What did Erik ten Hag say?
Erik ten Hag told Manchester United’s official website about his short-term and long-term ambitions that it is a great honor to be appointed manager of Man Utd and he is very excited about the challenge ahead. Erik knows the history of this great club and the passion of the fans and is absolutely committed to developing a team capable of delivering the success they deserve. It will be difficult to leave Ajax after these incredible years, according to Erik ten Hag, and he can reassure their fans of his full commitment and focus on bringing this season to a successful conclusion before he moves to Man Utd.
The Dutchman added on Ajax’s official website after seeing the long-running saga brought to a close that he was happy it had been completed and that it had been officially announced. This clarity is important. But according to Ten Hag, he only has one interest right now, and that’s the last five games. Erik wants to end his time here on a positive note by winning the league. By doing this, they will directly qualify for the Champions League. There is Ajax.
