Erik ten Hag and Manchester United might be heading towards a separation this summer, but the Dutchman is expected to easily secure a new position.
Erik ten Hag may not have to be concerned about his tenure at Manchester United, as he is already being eyed by three appealing European clubs looking for a new head coach.
This week brought speculation that Manchester United’s newly appointed part-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is eyeing current England manager Gareth Southgate to helm Old Trafford post-Euro 2024, casting doubt on ten Hag’s future.
Amidst the uncertainty surrounding his role, various European clubs are considering ten Hag for their managerial vacancy for the 2024/25 season.
The Daily Star reports that ten Hag has attracted interest from Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, and Stuttgart, with all three German Bundesliga teams keen on his expertise for the upcoming season.
This potential shift comes amidst an expected flurry of managerial changes this summer. Bayern Munich’s top choice to replace Thomas Tuchel is believed to be Xabi Alonso, although Liverpool is purportedly in the lead for the Spaniard’s services.
Should Alonso opt for Liverpool, it could prompt both Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen to actively seek a new manager. Ten Hag, having previously served as Bayern’s reserve team coach ten years ago, would be open to proposals from these clubs, especially with Leverkusen on the brink of securing their first Bundesliga championship.
Stuttgart presents another appealing option. Positioned third in the league, they are on course for Champions League qualification next season and boast a squad with potential that mirrors the one ten Hag famously managed at Ajax.
