I reacted with surprise when we heard that Erik ten Hag, right after he was fired from Bayer Leverkusen in September, was being considered for a return to the Premier League after proving he doesn’t understand the culture or the game in the world’s toughest league.
Before his very short stint in the Bundesliga and Bayer Leverkusen with only three games on his CV, he had been out of work since he was sent out of the gates at Old Trafford with a fat parachute in October 2024.

Erik ten Hag is in talks with the only club he has actually delivered for!
Ten Hag has since been linked with the vacancy at Wolves, after parting ways with Vítor Pereira following their crushing 3-0 defeat to Fulham.
Edwards not only played for Wolves in the past, but also coached the club’s U23 team, and he reportedly has an expiry clause in his Boro contract. Ten Hag seems to be on the verge of securing a job, despite the fact that it didn’t happen with Wolves.
The Dutch manager has been contacted by his old club Ajax about a possible return, after Johnny Heitinga was sacked on Thursday. In the Netherlands, according to Ted Lasso, they are used to direct and emotional communication that Erik ten Hag is known for and lost with at Manchester United.

A statement on social media read: “Ajax have suspended John Heitinga with immediate effect. The head coach’s contract was supposed to expire on June 30, 2027, but is now being terminated. The same goes for assistant coach Marcel Keiser. Ajax are looking for a new head coach; in the meantime, Fred Grim will take over Heitinga’s duties.”
Sacked by United boss Ratcliffe four months after contract extension, sacked by Bayer Leverksen after three games.
Erik ten Hag appears to be ready to replace Heitinga, which will mean a return to the Dutch giants after the period he was there between 2017 and 2022.
In the summer of 2022, Erik ten Hag left his job as manager of Ajax. The Manchester United management was dazzled by the success of the manager with three league titles, two cup titles and a Champions League semi-final in the 2018/19 season where they beat Real Madrid and Juventus, among others. Ajax sank straight to the bottom in sporting slump and changes of manager, while Manchester United won two cup titles, but that was it. On Thursday, the opportunity opened up for Ten Hag he just has to take to save his career.
Ajax are now eight points behind league leader Feyenoord in the Eredivisie after 11 games played.
They also suffered a 3-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Wednesday, which turned out to be Heitinga’s last game as manager.
