Roma Host Former Manchester United Boss Versus Juventus | OneFootball

Erik ten Hag attended Sunday’s clash between Roma and Juventus as a guest of the Friedkin family, which owns the Giallorossi and Everton. He stayed at a hotel often used by the side. Newcomers Assane Sala-Eddine and Victor Nelsson spent time there too after their transfers, Il Messaggero informs.

The coach didn’t speak with the fans who recognized him and was mum about his future. The capital club insists that there haven’t been concrete contacts with him concerning their opening.

It remains to be seen whether Ten Hag will join the shortlist of candidates for the Roma dugout, which currently comprises Stefano Pioli, Maurizio Sarri, and Gian Piero Gasperini. He was sacked by Manchester United in October after two seasons and change. He finished third in his maiden season, then things went sideways. Instead, he had won the Eredivisie with Ajax three times before taking over the Red Devils.

Director Florent Ghisolfi commented on their search to Sky before the Juventus meeting.

Our Take on Roma and Ten Hag

They like to take big swings with their managers and on the transfer market, and he’s an easy bet to bounce back in his next stop, but going with him would be an unnecessary risk with so many good Italian coaches available.
