Just a few weeks ago, he was singled out by all Manchester United observers. Arriving in 2022 on the Mancunian bench after a more than successful experience with Ajax Amsterdam, Erik Ten Hag was supposed to breathe new life into the Red Devils after a failed end to the adventure on the part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Ultimately, the Batavian technician’s experience was not as fruitful as expected with the most successful club in England.
Standing out from the outset with his decision to sideline Cristiano Ronaldo, the former central defender made a decisive decision and his tactical decisions allowed Manchester United to display a certain sporting consistency throughout the season. Third in the Premier League at the end of his first season in one of the toughest championships in the world, Erik Ten Hag also won the English League Cup. An accomplishment which promised a bright future for the person concerned. Ultimately, nothing went as planned for the 54-year-old coach.

However, his wait to find a position could quickly end.
Indeed, as reported Sky GermanyRB Leipzig have made Erik Ten Hag their priority for the coaching role.

His replacement would therefore be found in Erik Ten Hag. The German publication explains that Rose will be entitled to one last chance this Wednesday against Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Cup to rectify the situation. In the event of another defeat, his fate would be sealed and the position of coach of RB Leipzig will return either to Erik Ten Hag, the priority of the leaders, or Roger Schmidt, also free and observed since the end of his adventure with Benfica.
