After his dismissal as Manchester United manager in October, Erik ten Hag has been keeping himself busy by visiting various clubs. Recently, he has been spotted at Borussia Dortmund, where he has a good relationship with the chief advisor, Matthias Sammer. In fact, Ten Hag has been a 'frequent guest' at the German club since his departure from Old Trafford.
During his most recent visit, Ten Hag was given a tour of the 'business area' and had a chat with the technical director, Sven Mislintat. It's no surprise that the Dutchman feels comfortable at Dortmund, as he was previously brought to Bayern as a reserve team boss by Sammer. However, despite all these connections, it has been reported that Dortmund has no plans of appointing Ten Hag as their manager anytime soon. They are currently satisfied with their current manager, Nuri Sahin, who has the backing of the club's hierarchy.
But things can change quickly in the world of football, and if Sahin fails to turn things around for Dortmund, they may consider bringing in Ten Hag as their manager. The team has been struggling lately, with just one win in their last five Bundesliga matches and a disappointing loss to Bayer Leverkusen in their most recent game. The club's chiefs are not panicking yet, but if they continue to underperform and miss out on a top-four finish, they may lose patience with Sahin.
However, Ten Hag himself is in no rush to jump back into management. Since his departure from Manchester United, the 54-year-old has kept a low profile. He even took the time to write an open letter to the club and their fans, thanking them for their support during his tenure. He expressed his gratitude for the unshakeable support of the fans, whether it was at home games or away games. He also thanked the staff of the club for their unwavering support, especially during the tough times.
Although Ten Hag's dream was to bring more trophies to Manchester United, he understands that sometimes things don't go as planned. He wishes the club and its fans nothing but success, trophies, and glory in the future. He also expressed his appreciation for the warmth and sense of belonging he felt at the club. As he closed this chapter in his life, he left a heartfelt message to all the people at Manchester United who made his time there special.
