Erik Ten Hag emerges as contender to coach Champions League club
Former Manchester United head coach, Erik ten Hag has emerged as a contender to manage Champions League club, Borussia Dortmund, in the future.
The 54-year-old left the Red Devils last October and has visited Dortmund since.
Ten Hag is waiting in the wings at Dortmund, having been a ‘frequent guest’ of the Bundesliga club since he was sacked as Man United manager.
Sky Germany reports that Ten Hag was shown round the ‘business area’ and discussed with Dortmund technical director Sven Mislintat.
The former Ajax manager enjoys a good relationship with Dortmund chief advisor Matthias Sammer who brought him to Bayern Munich as reserve some years ago.
The Dutchman was even present for Friday’s clash with Bayer Leverkusen, in which Dortmund were defeated 3-2.
However, Dortmund have no intention of appointing Ten Hag any time soon, with current manager Nuri Sahin still enjoying the backing of the club’s hierarchy.
However, this could change if Sahin cannot turn around the recent underwhelming results.
Dortmund have won just one of their last five Bundesliga matches.
They currently sit in ninth position in the league table with 25 points after 17 matches.
