The story behind Erik ten Hag

433
About this episode

Erik ten Hag is the new manager of Manchester United. He made the move over from Ajax Amsterdam, where he won three domestic league titles, two domestic cups and one super cup. Of course, Ten Hag also famously reached the semifinals of the Champions League with Ajax in 2019, seconds away from the final before being denied by Tottenham’s Lucas Moura. He’s come to be known as one of the most interesting managers in the world of football. But how did he get here? How did Erik ten Hag become the man to save Manchester United?


We spoke with six different people who worked with Erik ten Hag, from the day he put his pants on backwards at his first coaching job at Go Ahead Eagles, to the way he dealt with a tough personal situation at FC Utrecht, and the night he destroyed Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium with Ajax. This is the calculated rise of Erik ten Hag.
