Erik ten Hag responds to Netherlands speculation | OneFootball

Erik ten Hag has ruled out an immediate switch from Ajax to take over the Netherlands job after their early elimination at Euro 2020.

The KNVB announced that it had parted ways with De Boer on 29 June following their 2-0 loss to the Czech Republic in the round-of-16.

Despite ten Hag committing to Ajax, he failed to rule out a move in the future.

“That is not possible, because I signed with Ajax,” when asked if he would be open to taking the vacant position.

“The Dutch national team is very attractive, especially because I have a history with 75% of the selection. They are good players and if they form a good team, you can achieve a lot with them.

“That would be very attractive, but that is not possible, because I work at Ajax.

“When those guys team up, they can perform incredibly well. Then they can compete with the best in the world. Who wouldn’t want to be a national coach one day? It’s an honourable job.”

Erik ten Hag has been with Ajax since moving from Utrecht in December 2017, winning a total of five trophies.
