Exactly 850 days lasted “Manchester United” with Eric ten Haag. The Dutch specialist was finally fired by the bosses of the “red devils” after, to put it mildly, the tragic results he achieved at the head of the one-time giant.
The cup of patience is overflowing after the 1:2 defeat by “West Ham” in the Premier League. After the loss, the team from the north of England is in the unenviable 14th place with an asset of only 11 points.
United will have to pay around £20m in compensation to the coach because he had a contract until 2026.
Ten Hag officially took over the 20-time champions of England on July 1, 2022. In nearly 26 months, the Dutchman managed to win 2 trophies – the League Cup and the FA Cup. Under his leadership, the team played 128 matches, won 72, drew 20 times and lost 36 matches.
Until the appointment of a permanent coach, United will be led by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Favorite to replace Ten Hag is Xavi. The Spaniard, who was last in charge of Barcelona, is out of work.
