ESPN: Ten Hag is unlikely to return to Ajax, he is very cautious after being suddenly fired by the pharmaceutical company

Ajax defeated Galatasaray 0-3 in the Champions League. Under the leadership of Heitinga, the team has only won 5 games in 15 games. The gap with the top spot has widened to 8 points, and it is at the bottom of the Champions League. According to ESPN Netherlands, although Heitinga is facing dismissal, the possibility of Ten Hag returning to coach Ajax is currently slim.

Ajax Director Cruz and Ten Hag are old acquaintances. As SEG's agent, he has been closely involved in coaching teams such as Ajax, Manchester United and Leverkusen for many years. According to Dutch media Dagblad, the two have maintained close contact until now. During his tenure at Forward Eagle and Alkmaar, Cruz often drank coffee and chatted with Ten Hag.

Last Monday, Kruse had an in-depth exchange with Ten Hag again to discuss the Wolves' interest. Wolves, currently at the bottom of the Premier League, asked about Ten Hag's situation after firing Pereira, but the possibility of Ten Hag taking over is very small. After being suddenly fired by Bayer Leverkusen, he was very cautious about choosing his next job. This is one of the reasons why he is currently unlikely to return to Ajax.

In addition, after being dismissed from Manchester United, Ten Hag made it clear that he would not take over any team midway through the season. It is possible to reconsider this issue after leaving Leverkusen, but the premise is that the next club must fully meet his expectations. Moreover, compared with the last time he coached Ajax, the current team's lineup has declined significantly, its financial situation is not as good as before, and the management is also unstable. These are not conducive to Ten Hag's return to coaching.
