After claiming the Eredivisie title with a 4-0 win over SC Heerenveen on Wednesday, Ajax have announced the appointment of fellow Dutchman Schreuder as their new manager. Schreuder previously worked at Ajax and is expected to succeed Erik ten Hag as their manager. However, who will succeed him? In this article we will take a look at a few options.
Alfred Schreuder
Former Dutch international Alfred Schreuder will replace Erik te Hag as head coach of Ajax. Schreuder won 14 of 19 games while coaching Brugge. Prior to this, he was the assistant manager of Barcelona. Ajax appoint Schreuder to succeed ten Hag, who is moving to Manchester United. Schreuder will be responsible for bringing Ajax back to the top of the Eredivisie.
Ajax have opted to replace ten Hag with Schreuder, who has a contract until the end of 2023. The Belgian has previously managed FC Twente and Hoffenheim. His time in the Netherlands has also included positions as assistant manager to Ronald Koeman at Barcelona. Since his arrival in January, Schreuder has managed Club Brugge, and is hoping to lead the club to glory in the Belgian Cup.
Ajax are expected to appoint a new manager shortly. Ajax are in search of a new head coach after Erik ten Hag quit the club. Schreuder will replace Erik ten Hag, who has been in charge for five years. Former Manchester United assistant Ronald Koeman has been sacked following his disastrous season with the Red Devils.
Frenkie de Jong
Whether Frenkie de Jong will replace Erik Ten Hag at Ajax remains to be seen. The Dutch midfielder, who made his debut for the club in 2016, has blossomed into one of the most exciting midfielders of his generation. In fact, his performances have earned him a move to FC Barcelona, which he is expected to do at the end of the season. While he is not a natural right-back, he is comfortable playing in double pivots and can adapt to a 4-3-3 formation.
The Dutch midfielder has emerged as one of Ten Hag’s primary targets. As a result, the Dutchman sees De Jong as a key signing for his side. The former Ajax assistant manager has already backed Ten Hag in his quest to achieve success at Old Trafford. He also maintains a close relationship with Ten Hag. The arrival of De Jong is a huge boost for Ajax and a great boost to Ten Hag’s reputation.
Barcelona have reportedly rejected United’s first bid, but United have not given up hope that they can get the player. However, they have to negotiate the deal with Barcelona if they want De Jong. United are keen to sign the winger, but Barcelona have made clear that they will not be held to ransom by the English club. If this happens, Ajax will be able to sell de Jong to a top European club for a massive fee.
Steve McClaren
After leaving Manchester United last year, Steve McClaren has been linked with the Ajax job. The former England manager had previously assisted Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and had developed a reputation for being tactically astute. His focus on video analysis and sports psychology has also earned him praise. Many have deemed him a future manager of Manchester United. After all, he has won the league with his team just last week.
Manchester United have not yet started training, but a number of players will. As a result, the players will report back to Carrington in staggered batches due to their commitments. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and David de Gea have all reported to the club’s Carrington base. Donny van de Beek cut a confident figure when reunited with his former Ajax boss.
Pep Guardiola said that Ajax should look to a familiar coach in Ten Hag. Ajax reportedly wanted to hire someone with his experience and is aiming to recruit a former Manchester United assistant manager as his assistant. The Dutch club also cited Rene Meulensteen as an alternative candidate. However, Ten Hag is still the only coach in the world who is required to win major trophies in the Eredivisie.
Matthijs de Ligt
The Netherlands defender has been linked with Manchester United recently. He is currently on international duty with the Netherlands. Juve centre-back Margriet de Ligt recently spoke about her former teammate. She said: “When you’re at Ajax, everyone matters. You need to have everyone involved.” Those are words that will excite Ajax supporters.
After working under former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag, Matthijs de Ligt will now be at Juventus. He is a former teammate of ten Hag and has won the Dutch league twice. He made the Dutch cup final twice and reached the semi-final of the Champions League. Ajax are looking for a centre-back to replace the Dutch defender.
The former Manchester United boss tipped ten Hag to succeed at Ajax and has the chance to succeed at Manchester United. Ten Hag has a lot of responsibility after a disappointing season at Manchester United. The club finished sixth in the Premier League and recorded their lowest points total in the history of the division. But de Ligt believes the new manager has the qualities to succeed.
The Ajax midfielder is valued at 70 million euros. He is a good fit for the club’s rebuilding plans. However, the Dutch club could be tempted to swoop for another centre-back. It is unknown what will happen to Frenkie de Jong and Paul Pogba, as the former Ajax defender was linked with the Manchester club.
Frenkie de Ligt tipped to leave Barcelona for a reunion with Erik ten Hag
The Netherlands defender has been linked with a move to the Spanish giants, but there are plenty of other options available. His performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals has prompted speculation that he could leave Barcelona to join Erik ten Hag at Ajax. While it’s unlikely that the player would make the move to Manchester United, there are other clubs that would be interested in signing him.
There have been a number of moves for players at Barcelona this month. Ousmane Dembele is set to join Chelsea, but he is likely to demand a starting spot. Manchester United are continuing to negotiate a deal for Frenkie de Jong, but they’re reportedly not prepared to pay the current PS85m asking price. Liverpool and Manchester City are both monitoring the progress of the contract negotiations for 17-year-old midfielder Gavi. The club have a PS85m release clause on the midfielder, which could delay a deal.
Manchester United are also interested in signing De Jong, who starred for Ajax in the Champions League last season. The former Ajax captain has reportedly been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer, but the Dutch club’s financial problems have made it difficult to sign new players. With De Jong’s performance at Ajax, the Red Devils could take another step towards a top-flight position.
Steven McClaren
United are interested in recruiting Steven McClaren, who previously worked with ten Hag at FC Twente. However, the Englishman is also a top candidate for the Ajax job, and it is unclear whether he has already been contacted by the club. Rangnick was set to take a consulting role at the club for two years, and it remains to be seen if he is willing to leave.
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are chasing a midfielder or striker to replace the departed defender. The Red Devils are also interested in a central defender. While there are rumours linking McClaren with the West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, the Red Devils are keen on keeping Dean Henderson, whom they’ve already loaned out.
Former England coach McClaren will take over the Ajax job. The former England coach coached the national team for 16 months before being sacked after their failure to qualify for the 2008 European Championships. He had previously worked as an assistant manager at Manchester United under Alex Ferguson. Besides being a top English manager, he has also managed Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United. Ten Hag has twice been under McClaren and the Englishman was one of his assistants when he first took over the club. Ajax have also reportedly interviewed Van der Gaag, who will replace Erik ten Hag at the club.
After the recent rumours that Ajax have chosen a new coach, Ajax fans are already getting excited. A new season of Premier League football is just around the corner, so a new manager is needed. There are plenty of options, but the choice is ultimately yours. Make sure to check out the options available! You won’t regret it! The new manager at Ajax is the right one for the job.
During his time as Manchester United manager, Louis van Gaal was aware that Jose Mourinho was being lined up as his replacement. However, the Dutchman was sacked just two days after winning the FA Cup final. In hindsight, he could have done a better job. The team had dropped out of the top four in just its second season, a result which would have earned him a better treatment.
Daley Blind
It is difficult to judge the quality of a footballer based on one or two games, but Daley Blind impressed during his time with Manchester United, which was reflected in his performance. While it may seem unfair for fans to berate a player for not playing more, Blind’s emergence in the Premier League is certainly a plus. And his versatility and consistency were evident during his time with Manchester United. However, the Dutchman is still far from a first team regular.
Although Daley Blind has not reached the heights that some expected him to reach, he has excelled in both fast-paced and physical football. If he was a liability, logic would suggest that Manchester United should have dropped him in favour of a more experienced defender. However, he has already demonstrated his versatility and charm offensive in pre-season. He has also been an outstanding passer. His versatility will certainly help Manchester United’s attack in the future.
Daley Blind underwent a thorough medical examination in recent days. He had previously complained of dizziness during a recent match with Ajax. He said he is fine at the moment, but he is still under a lot of speculation. Manchester United’s handling of the situation was unfortunate for Blind. But in the end, he was a valuable member of the team and deserves to be rewarded properly for his outstanding work.
Daley Blind’s reaction to Louis van Gaal’s sacking
Following the sacking of Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, Dutch defender Daley Blind has criticised the club’s handling of the situation. The sacking of Van Gaal was confirmed on Monday night, and the player has now spoken out to criticise the manner in which it was handled. Blind, who joined the club from Ajax for PS14 million in 2014, said: “I would have liked to work with him for longer.”
Daley Blind’s reaction to Van Gaal’s sacking was a typical Dutch reaction. The player admitted that he felt lost towards the end of his stay in Manchester. This could be an indication that the sacking of Van Gaal was a slap in the face of the Dutch manager’s reputation. Daley Blind’s rage is reflected in the fact that his former teammates are still at the club.
Despite the recent turmoil at Manchester United, the Dutchman’s reaction to the sacking has been far more positive than that of the players. On Saturday, Blind, meanwhile, made his 52nd appearance for Manchester United, against Leicester. He won the Player of the Year award and was deployed across several positions. Despite his limited playing time for Manchester United, his father had a dream come true – the pair spent two years in the same team.
Daley Blind’s opinion of Woodward’s tenure as Manchester United manager
After being released from Manchester United, Daley Blind has spoken out about his impression of the former manager’s tenure. Daley Blind joined United in 2014 for PS13.8 million. He spent four years at United under Louis van Gaal, playing full back, centre-back and central midfield. After leaving the club, Blind returned to his former club Ajax, where he won three Eredivisie titles.
As one of Van Gaal’s multi-functionals, Blind was a disappointment in his time at Old Trafford. A gifted football artist with a combination of intelligence and instinct, Daley Blind could enthrall with his sheer artistry and intelligence on the pitch. However, he struggled to find a regular place in the Manchester United first team, and his future is uncertain.
However, Daley Blind’s opinion of Ed Woodward’s tenure as Manchester United manager is a far cry from his fellow defenders. Blind believes that the former United executive should have been fired as soon as he took the reins. The club’s hierarchy doesn’t have much patience, and Woodward was fired shortly after taking over in 2005. However, this is not an excuse for Woodward to be fired. The club has already lost four managers since Sir Alex Ferguson’s era and has failed to win a league title.
Woodward’s comments were accompanied by the release of quarterly figures for the club’s performance. While Woodward is trying to demonstrate the global impact of the Old Trafford club, Blind’s comments are likely to be met with sarcasm in some quarters. While the United manager’s team hardly looks like a dominant force, it is still an underdog, and that’s the case with the club’s new signings.
Louis van Gaal’s treatment in the English press
If there is any manager in football who is getting front page treatment in the English press, it’s Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal. The Dutchman is not the first manager to be derided in the English press. In 2004, Paul Lambert was criticised for his performance at Aston Villa and Sir Alex Ferguson endured widespread press criticism at the start of his career with United. However, he eventually built a power base on the back of his exceptional results and was virtually untouchable. This gave his critics little ammunition to trash him.
While Van Gaal has a poor reputation in the English press, his track record at Bayern Munich is very impressive. Mehmet Scholl, who managed Van Gaal at Bayern Munich, warned players not to get a free ride under Van Gaal. In his first spell at Barcelona, Van Gaal impressed but his poor results followed. The sour press treatment by the English press is no wonder.
Many Manchester United fans questioned the managerial abilities of the Dutchman. His reliance on possession seemed ineffective to some players, leading to rumours of a mutiny. In reality, the manager’s tactics didn’t work in the Premier League, but they were successful elsewhere in Europe. And his players and supporters were not the only ones who were unhappy with his methods.
Louis van Gaal’s philosophy
For some, the varying philosophy of Van Gaal at Manchester United has caused a stir. On the surface, it seems to be a radical change from the system implemented by Sir Alex Ferguson. While Van Gaal’s approach to football has been characterized by prudence, it has also been tetchy. As a result, the philosophy of the Dutchman at United may not have been an unqualified success. But the results speak for themselves.
Before the news broke, Louis van Gaal had made it clear that his time at Manchester United was coming to an end. When he attended a press conference to announce his departure, he was told that the rumours about Mourinho’s arrival were not false. And the leak was not from the club itself. However, the news infuriated him and he waved his trophy. After the press conference, he took a private plane to Portugal.
Another criticism of Van Gaal’s philosophy at Manchester United is his tendency to play long balls when they could be playing more aggressively. This often results in possession-based attacks that are less likely to result in a goal. Manchester United need to score more goals if they are to make the competition more interesting. But if they fail to score, they will fall short of the Champions League. It’s difficult to be positive about Van Gaal’s philosophy if he can’t make the team score enough goals.
Louis van Gaal’s pay off
The manager’s contract is set to expire in June 2017, and if the Red Devils win the FA Cup, Louis van Gaal will be entitled to a PS400,000 pay off. If United win the FA Cup, the Dutchman will also receive a PS200,000 League Cup bonus. If the team loses, the PS400,000 pay off will be void. The manager will likely also be forced to pay the backroom staff.
There have been many rumors that Van Gaal will leave Manchester United in the summer, but there is nothing to suggest that he will stay at the club. After all, the Dutchman left Old Trafford with a trophy and an FA Cup. But he has never been more polarising. Van Gaal has also spoken openly about the philosophy of his time at the club, saying he was “bored” during the second season.
When Manchester United’s fans learned of his battle with prostate cancer, the club was quick to reach out to him and show their support. The team posted a heartfelt message on social media to let Van Gaal know that the club is fully behind him. Despite all the negative publicity, United fans have largely supported him. That said, fans have booed him when his image appeared on the big screens in the stadium. This is a sign of the deep hatred that exists against him.
