Well, not a bad prediction a month ago.
I hope Ten Hag turns out to be the man to take back Man United to it’s glory days!
Ajax boss Erik ten Hag:
Ten Hag, who joined Ajax in 2017, has enjoyed a successful stint at the club, having won five trophies there including two league titles .
Ten Hag is known for his attack-minded style of football, leading Ajax on a dream run to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2018-19, where they dramatically lost against Spurs.
The Dutch club had won all their group games this UCL season, however Benfica pulled off a surprise 1-0 win at the Johan Cruyff Arena to end Ajax’s impressive UEFA Champions League run.
This season, Ajax stand atop the Eredivisie table having won the title for the past 4 years.
Erik ten Hag Overall Record:
Clubs: Go Ahead Eagles, Bayern Munich’s reserve team between 2013 and 2015 while Pep Guardiola was manager of the first team, Utrecht, Ajax
Points per game: 2.08
Win rate: 64.04%
Loss rate: 19.1%
Goals per game: 2.41
Goals against per game: 1.08
Trophies: 5 (Eredivisie x2, KNVB Cup x2, Johan Cruyff Shield)
Playing style:
Underpinning Ten Hag’s philosophy is a desire to press aggressively and win the ball back quickly. The role of the defensive midfielder is key to his system in helping to shield the back four.
In his own words, Ten Hag says success is less to do with formation, and more to do with basic principles. He told DutchSoccerSite: “It’s not even about systems. It’s about what you do in possession, when you lose possession and in those turn around moments. And you need to be able to change that up.”
He added: “The players’ qualities determine how you play.”
He also has a relentless desire to win, again and again. Ten Hag explained: “Good ain’t good enough. We need to get better. Push boundaries.
