Manchester United has confirmed the selection of Erik ten Hag, a Dutch coach, as the club’s new permanent manager, who will take over after Ralf Rangnick’s interim contract expires.
Ten Hag, who is currently at Ajax, has a contract until June 2025 with the option of a further year until 2026.
“Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Erik ten Hag as Men’s First Team Manager, subject to work visa requirements, from the end of this season until June 2025, with the option to extend for a further year.” The club said in a statement on its website.
Ten Hag stated that while leaving Ajax would be painful, his priority at the present is to ensure that the Eredivisie champions finish the season on a positive note before he departs.
“It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead. I know the history of this great club and the passion of the fans, and I am absolutely determined to develop a team capable of delivering the success they deserve,” in his first interview as the new United first team manager.
“It will be difficult to leave Ajax after these incredible years, and I can assure our fans of my complete commitment and focus on bringing this season to a successful conclusion before I move to Manchester United.”
“During his four years at Ajax, Erik has proven himself to be one of Europe’s most exciting and successful coaches, renowned for his team’s attractive, attacking football and commitment to youth,” stated the club’s Director of Football, John Murtough.
“In our conversations with Erik leading up to this appointment, we were deeply impressed with his long-term vision for returning Manchester United to the level we want to be competing at, and his drive and determination to achieve that.
“We wish Erik the best of luck as he focuses on achieving a successful end to the season at Ajax and look forward to welcoming him to Manchester United this summer.”
Man United has battled to find their footing after Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, having gone through seven coaches in nine years. Ten Hag already has his job cut out for him after his team was thrashed 4-0 by Liverpool in their last match.
