After the 2021-22 season, Manchester United’s interim coach Rangnick will step down and become a consultant to the club. Therefore, “Manchester United’s new coach” has also become a hot topic in European football recently. According to previous reports, the current Ajax coach Ten Hag has surpassed Paris Saint-Germain coach Pochettino as the most popular candidate for the Red Devils coach. According to the British media “Mirror”, Ten Hag has told Manchester United that if they want to hire him to coach the team, the salary is not a problem, he just wants to restore Manchester United’s former glory. But Ten Hag was shocked that following the interview, Manchester United did not talk to him regarding the contract.
Ten Hag, 52, met with Manchester United management last week, and the two sides discussed the management of the Red Devils. Ten Hag is understood to have stressed to United’s top brass that he wants time and money to rebuild the team, not a lucrative contract. Ten Hag’s team plan made Manchester United very satisfied, but following the talks, Manchester United still did not give a clear answer.
According to reports, Ten Hag comes from a wealthy family, he holds a stake in the family business, and the income of the previous coaching team is not low, so he is not short of money at all. During the interview, he also emphasized to Manchester United that he is more interested in making history than making money. However, following he explained to the club his vision for the team and how to return to Manchester United’s glory, it was very strange that the senior management of the team did not negotiate with him on the contract. While Ten Hag has shown his sincerity, United still want to talk to other potential candidates, such as Pochettino and Enrique, before offering contracts.
Ten Hag’s father, Henney, is a well-known figure in the business world, a major shareholder in the real estate and financial services empire founded in 1989, and one of the largest real estate agents in the Netherlands. Currently, the family business is mainly run by Ten Hag’s two brothers, who have the same stake, although Ten Hag is not involved in the operation.
The old Ten Hag tried to persuade Ten Hag, who was playing at Twente at the time, to give up football and study economics and finance, but his persuasion ended in failure. After that, Ten Hag was active on the pitch as a player for Twente Football Club.
Asked if it was possible for his son (Ten Hag) to join the family business, the elder Ten Hag said, “No, he doesn’t want that, he liked football since he was a kid. I remember he came and told us that he He gave up his studies in order to concentrate on playing football. This is very difficult for me to accept. My wife and I are very worried regarding his life following retirement. Of course, we did not expect that his coaching career would be so successful.” It is reported that Teng Hager is also very business savvy, and he and his wife Bianca have bought separate properties near their hometown for their three children.
“He (Ten Hag) just wants to be treated fairly, and if people don’t treat him fairly, he finds it difficult,” Ten Hag said. “At the beginning of Ajax, the fans were suspicious of him. , which had a big impact. After that, he worked day and night to fulfill his dream in football, and the only time he dropped everything to party was because of Carnival in Holland.”
