"Second entry into the palace" Ajax, Ten Hag is waiting for a fall this time!

According to the well-known Dutch media "Algemeen Dagblad", after Heitinga's dismissal, Ajax sports director Kroos held in-depth talks with Ten Hag, hoping that he would return to the place of glory.

Ajax, the place of glory

Since the summer of 2017, Ten Hag has been coaching Ajax. He not only won three Eredivisie championships, led the team to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2018/19 season (eliminating Real Madrid and Juventus), but also created stars such as De Jong, De Ligt, Onana, Dolberg, and Mazraoui.

It was precisely thanks to his brilliant record at Ajax that Ten Hag received an invitation from Manchester United. After a mixed journey at the Theater of Dreams, the Dutchman got a contract from Bayer Leverkusen, but what happened later exceeded his expectations.

Looking back, times have changed

If Ten Hag chooses to return to Ajax, his second journey to the palace may not be easy. At that time, Ajax's management included Edwin van der Sar and Overmars. The three of them performed their respective duties and cooperated in an orderly manner. The club's echelon construction and youth training construction were excellent. Today's Ajax management is in constant disputes, and Ten Hag is not good at interpersonal relationships and internal management. This may be the key to his delay in making a decision.
