Five days after parting with Manchester United, Eric ten Hag has reappeared in public.
The former Red Devils manager has made his public appearance since his dismissal. Last season, the Dutch coach led United to their worst Premier League finish, placing 8th, though he held onto his position an FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
Despite this success, pressure remained on Ten Hag, and a challenging start to the new season saw United slipping to 14th place in the League. His departure was announced recently with Ruud Van Nisrelrooy stepping in as interim manager until the November international break. Porto’s Ruben Amorim has been named the next permanent manager.
On his final day at Manchester United, Ten Hag was seen leaving Carrington with his head lowered. He had not been seen in public until recently when he was spotted attending a Heracles Almelo match, which ended in a 2-0 victory over NAC Breda in the Ersdivisie, according to the Daily Mail.
Now back in the Netherlands, the 54-year-old is unlikely to pursue a position in the Dutch league, even though his reputation has taken a hit following his time in United.
Although he has yet to be linked with a new coaching role, the former Ajax manager remains one of the top names in football and is expected to return to a high-profile job soon.
