Transfer window: Ajax coach Ten Hag on Man City shortlist

Ajax coach, Erik ten Hag, is on Manchester City’s radar.

According to The Telegraph, Ten Hag is on the shortlist to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, while their local rivals Manchester United are eyeing the Dutchman to take over from interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

Ten Hag is viewed as one of the most progressive coaches in Europe after moulding a young Ajax side into Champions League competitors in 2019 and rebuilding the squad after his best players were snatched up by Europe’s elite.

The Dutchman is now said to be on the shortlist to replace Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, should the City boss step down.
