Erik ten Hag Linked with Ajax Return

Erik ten Hag is reportedly in discussions about a potential return to Ajax.

Short Stint at Bayer Leverkusen

The ex-Manchester United manager faced a brief tenure at Bayer Leverkusen this season, lasting only three matches before his dismissal.

Prospects at Ajax

According to De Telegraaf, Ajax may look to bring ten Hag back to management as early as the New Year. The current Ajax board is hesitant to make a change in the coaching staff at this stage, especially as Johnny Heitinga is working to gain support from the fanbase. However, should the team’s performance fail to improve, Heitinga may be let go during the Dutch winter break.

Should a coaching change occur, ten Hag is reportedly interested in returning and has expressed his willingness to entertain the idea of a second term with the club.

Ten Hag’s Achievements

During his initial period with Ajax, ten Hag celebrated significant accomplishments, including three Eredivisie titles, two domestic cups, and a run to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.
