Erik ten Hag may not remain out of management for long, as his name has emerged on the shortlist for a major European club. On November 1 (KST), TeamTalk reported that following his recent departure from Manchester United, ten Hag is attracting interest from several top clubs, with Borussia Dortmund leading the list and potentially offering him a role before the season’s end.

Manchester United announced ten Hag’s dismissal on October 28, with a statement acknowledging his contributions since joining in April 2022, including the Carabao Cup win in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024. The club appointed Ruud van Nistelrooy as interim manager, maintaining the current coaching staff until a permanent replacement is found.

Ten Hag, who initially gained prominence at Ajax by leading a young squad to the Champions League semifinals, joined United amid high expectations. His debut season was mixed but promising, securing a fourth-place Premier League finish and winning the Carabao Cup, earning the club a spot in the Champions League. However, the second season saw issues surface as United struggled to execute ten Hag’s tactical vision, finishing the 2023-2024 season in eighth place. Despite an FA Cup victory that temporarily saved his position, ten Hag’s third season began with severe struggles. United found themselves in 14th place after nine games, with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses.

The final blow came with a 1-2 loss to West Ham, leading United’s management to make the decision to part ways with ten Hag. Notably, ten Hag is expected to receive a severance package of £17.5 million (approximately 31 billion KRW), the largest termination compensation in United’s history. His likely successor is Ruben Amorim, expected to join following the November international break.

However, ten Hag may not stay jobless for long. TeamTalk reports that Borussia Dortmund is monitoring his availability and could consider hiring him before the season’s end if current manager Nuri Sahin’s performance doesn’t meet expectations. Dortmund is said to admire ten Hag’s tactical style, believing it aligns well with the club’s dynamic approach. Sahin’s record of 4 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses in eight games has left Dortmund struggling to achieve consistent success, and ten Hag is seen as a potential solution should the club seek change.

With ten Hag’s next move widely speculated, fans and analysts are closely following updates, with some even checking 먹튀없는 토토사이트 to keep track of the odds on whether he will take the Dortmund position before the season concludes.
