Erik ten Hag might be given a surprising opportunity to return to his homeland, with Feyenoord reportedly considering him for their managerial vacancy.. The 55-year-old Dutchman was dismissed by Manchester United in October after a two-year stint and has previously enjoyed success in the Eredivisie with Ajax, Feyenoord’s arch-rivals. Since leaving Old Trafford, Ten Hag has been linked with various positions across Europe, most recently with Borussia Dortmund.. However, a move back to the Netherlands could be on the horizon. As reported by Dutch publication AD, Ten Hag’s name has surfaced in connection with the Feyenoord job, although it remains uncertain whether he would entertain such an offer.. Brian Priske, who replaced Arne Slot (now at Liverpool) last summer, was relieved of his duties on Monday, leaving Feyenoord trailing Ajax by 12 points in the league. Appointing Ten Hag might raise some eyebrows due to his past association with Ajax and the intense rivalry between the two clubs.. Nevertheless, his track record in the Eredivisie, where he clinched the title three times in four seasons with Ajax, is undeniably attractive. Despite his impressive record in the Netherlands, Ten Hag struggled to replicate this success at United, although he did secure the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup during his tenure.. Interestingly, Rene Hake is being touted as a possible successor to the outgoing Priske. Brought in by Ten Hag as an assistant at Old Trafford, Hake found himself out of the picture following Ruben Amorim’s arrival. Currently, the Under-21 coach Pascal Bosschaart has stepped up as interim coach, with Feyenoord preparing to take on AC Milan in their Champions League play-off tie on Wednesday night.. Feyenoord’s Director Dennis te Kloese said: “We are glad that Pascal has shown himself ready to step in on a temporary basis. I have spoken to many players and staff, and everyone realises that we still have a great deal to compete for.”. Get United transfer news and updates on WhatsApp!.
