Erik ten Hag ‘turns down return to management’ after ex-Man United boss ‘held informal talks with former club’
Erik ten Hag has reportedly turned down the prospect of making an emotional return to Ajax after holding informal talks with his former club.
The ex-Man United boss has been linked with a return to the dugout in recent weeks, having initially been tipped to take charge of Wolves before the Premier League’s bottom club moved for Rob Edwards.
Ten Hag was then linked with a return to Ajax after the Dutch giants sacked John Heitinga less than six months after he took charge.
Dutch outlets NOS and AD have reported that Ten Hag has now declined the chance to take charge of Ajax.
The 55-year-old had reportedly held informal talks with technical director Alex Kroes over the prospect.
According to AD, Ten Hag expressed concern over the uncertain nature of the club’s hierarchy.
This followed Kroes announcing he would be resigning from his position following the dismissal of Heitinga.
Last month it was confirmed that Danny Blind would also be stepping down from his role as technical commissioner.
