The Manchester Evening News understands that Ajax is waiting for his coach to leave Amsterdam for England. Last month it was revealed that the 52-year-old had been interviewed for a permanent role at the Dream Theater. Ten Hag was also considered the preferred candidate for the position, but he was not going to rule out other viable options for the position of director. PSG’s Mauricio Pochettino was considered the only other strong candidate to take over Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season.

The competition is already milking and getting smaller. “It’s a shame.
