Erik ten Hag: Manchester United appoint Ajax boss as new manager (Sky Sports)

Erik ten Hag will join Man Utd on a three-year deal - with option of a further year - in the summer; Dutchman replaces Ralf Rangnick, with interim boss set ...

"Two domestic doubles and one kick away from a Champions League final later and there is an acceptance Ten Hag has brought some of the best football that Ajax have seen in years. "Man Utd are still a massive, massive club - one of the biggest clubs in the world. He does not just want to be a head coach - he wants to have control over the transfer strategy and recruitment as well. There is clarity now - all the players who are thinking of leaving, or who Man Utd want to sign, know Ten Hag is going to be the new manager. They want something that's completely different that they've not had before, and that's probably gone against Pochettino in some ways." He told United's website: "It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead. But let's not forget, less than 12 months ago, Man Utd finished second in the Premier League, they finished above Liverpool and over the past decade, six of the last 10 seasons they have finished above Liverpool. He's got more experience than I think most people think at the age of 52. I did a poll the other week and I was absolutely stunned - 220,000 people voted and 82 per cent were in favour of bringing him in over [Mauricio] Pochettino. He's won a couple of titles and cups in Holland. His style of play is good. "It's a massive jump but he's got a good coaching pedigree. Ten Hag will be United's fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

Premier League : qui est Erik ten Hag, le futur entraîneur de ... (Franceinfo)

Le technicien néerlandais de l'Ajax prendra les commandes de Manchester United la saison prochaine, a annoncé le club anglais jeudi.

À Manchester United, ten Hag arrivera avec un style de jeu et toutes les cartes en mains pour faire évoluer l'équipe comme il l'entend. Avec ce 4-2-4 très offensif, fortement inspiré par ceux mis en place par Pep Guardiola au long de sa carrière, Erik ten Hag veut du dynamisme. Mais les jeunes restent au cœur du jeu du "petit général", comme on aimait à l'appeler lors de son passage aux Go Ahead Eagles. Sur les 28 joueurs présents dans le groupe professionnel cette saison à l'Ajax, la moyenne d'âge est de 25,3 ans. Mais c'est en décembre 2017 que sa carrière prend un tout autre tournant : Erik ten Hag est appelé par l'Ajax Amsterdam pour remplacer Marcel Keizer. Le début d'une belle histoire. Il est alors repéré par l'équipe réserve du Bayern Munich en 2013 où sévissait Guardiola, qui l'"a beaucoup inspiré", avoue-t-il, et y remporte le championnat régional. Il a été choisi par le conseil d'administration pour succéder à Ralf Rangnick, lui même arrivé pour tenter de sauver la maison des Red Devils. Mais qui est cet entraîneur, dont la cote n'a eu de cesse de grimper depuis plusieurs années ?

« Lors de ses quatre saisons à l’Ajax, Erik a prouvé qu’il était l’un des entraîneurs les plus excitants et l’un de ceux qui a la meilleure réussite en Europe, (il est) connu pour le jeu plaisant et offensif de ses équipes et son engagement en faveur des jeunes joueurs », a commenté John Murtough, le directeur du football de Man Utd. Deux fois champion, et peut-être bientôt trois, avec l’Ajax, qu’il avait emmené en demi-finale de Ligue des Champions en 2019, Ten Hag est connu pour son sens du détail et sa capacité à faire basculer les matches par des changements tactiques. Mais Ten Hag aurait fait la différence lors d’une audition menée par le club anglais durant laquelle il a impressionné la direction par sa vision pour le club à 5 ans et son diagnostic sans concession, avait rapporté la presse anglaise fin mars.

Manchester United Appoints Erik Ten Hag (The New York Times)

The Dutchman is the latest coach tasked with resurrecting Manchester United, English soccer's fallen giant that is enduring a near decade-long slump.

United’s slide has been so profound that it may be years before ten Hag can be expected to make United challengers for the biggest titles. United had long targeted him as a possible new coach and had spoken with him on numerous occasions as it looked to plan for the future. That is what needs to happen with us in the next transfer windows.” Manchester United has turned to the Dutchman Erik ten Hag as the latest coach to help revive its fortunes after a near decade-long slump toward mediocrity. “It is a great honor to be appointed manager of Manchester United, and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead,” ten Hag said. Under ten Hag, Ajax has regularly punched above its weight against wealthier European rivals, playing a swashbuckling attacking style, with homegrown talent, something that was once a signature of Manchester United teams built by Ferguson.

Until Solskjaer they had chronic difficulties with injuries across the squad, so there is an obvious problem with effort and exertion that will need to be resolved after almost a decade of underperformance. That last point is linked to the necessity to change United’s approach to the game. Perhaps the headline concern is the future of Cristiano Ronaldo. After an incredibly difficult week for the Portuguese striker, he has returned to United training and might soon be back in the fold.

Erik ten Hag faces tough task to turn Manchester United's ghost ship ... (The Guardian)

The Dutchman will seek to bring warmth and coherence to an ailing celebrity club – it would be hard work for any manager.

Appointing him is in one sense another Rangnick: a process manager at a club that has no process; another doomed attempt by this hollowed-out robot replicant of a club to ape the human elements of a successful sporting culture. Right now, though, the fear is more what this club might do to him over the next three years. The key task will be to break the cycle of mediocrity, to put a firewall between his own work and the layers of middle management inserted by the ownership. Matt Busby took a club that had been bombed into the dust by the Luftwaffe, Alex Ferguson a booze-addled ship without a league title in 20 years. It isn’t hard to see why Ten Hag looks like an attractive option to the United board. For the first time since Alex Ferguson back in 1986 Manchester United have sourced a manager who is qualified on his record but also still on the rise in his own career. Two years of disciplined management, of stubbornness, of insisting on following his own process could inject even this ghost ship, this gothic mansion, with a little warmth, a sense of sharpened edges. Ten Hag is a talented coach and a man of substance. Players have described him as a father figure and notably sympathetic one-to-one, essential qualities in a squad that appears to be teetering constantly on the verge of some kind of collective personality breakdown. Ten Hag has a reputation for promoting youth, for working to a specific 4-3-3 system, but those who know him say he will build around what he has. This is an appointment process so refined it has, to date, dished up five random, ill-fitting, hilariously oscillating selections in the course of the past decade. David Moyes, who came in a little above his level, was recast by eight months in the job as a total imposter, some hollow-eyed passer-by with an empty briefcase on his desk.

The winger was bought from Southampton in 2018 for £12m and has since become a staple in ten Hag’s Ajax formation. Just 10 days after this win, ten Hag won the Eredivisie, earning the club the double. Ryan Babel is one of ten Hag’s most successful loan players. Ten Hag then secured a loan figure of £1.5m from Galatasaray for their winger and he has gone on to score three goals in his 25 appearances for the team sitting top of the Eredivisie. He moved to Ajax in 2017 and two years later led the side to the semi-finals of the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League for the first time in 17 years. Ralf Rangnick was brought in back in November to take on an interim role after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sent on his way, and the intervening months have seen several names linked with a move to Old Trafford, but the board has now confirmed that the Ajax manager will take on the permanent position.
