Erik ten Hag has a new team for the upcoming season
The Dutch coach wants to return to the benches after his time at Manchester United.
AS Roma is already planning for the next season and has set its sights on a renowned coach to take charge of the team: Erik ten Hag. The Dutch coach, who has been free since leaving Manchester United, is the favorite to take over the bench that Claudio Ranieri will vacate at the end of this season. Expectations are growing in the Italian capital for a possible agreement that would mark the beginning of a new era for the Giallorossi.
Ten Hag, known for his work at Ajax and his time at Old Trafford, was seen in Rome this past weekend, sparking a wave of rumors about his immediate future. His presence at the Olimpico to watch the match between Roma and Juventus did not go unnoticed, especially considering he was invited by the Friedkin family, the club's owners. Although it is insisted that it was an informal visit, the context suggests more than just a courtesy.
Roma, Close to Finalizing the Hiring of Ten Hag
Roma, which has experienced a season marked by instability in the dugout with up to three different coaches, is looking for a profile with international experience and the ability to lead a competitive project. Ten Hag fits that profile, not only due to his track record but also because of his offensive style and handling of demanding dressing rooms.
Although names like Allegri, Gasperini, or Pioli have also been mentioned, the former Manchester United manager seems to have the edge. The Roman board, aware of the need for a significant move, could close a deal in the coming weeks that would raise the club's ambition.
If all goes as planned, the "Giallorossi" would be close to handing over the reins to a coach who still has unfinished business in European elite football.
