The board of Manchester United Football Club will be looking for a new head coach following the termination of Erik Ten Hag’s appointment at the club with immediate effect.
The club released a statement on its official website on Monday, October 28, 2024, after a series of disappointing results by the club across all competitions but the straw that broke the camel’s back was the defeat against West Ham United at the London Stadium.
That result left United 14th in the Premier League having finished eighth last season, the lowest they have ended a top-flight campaign since 1990.
What did Manchester United say about Ten Hag’s sack?
“Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men’s first-team manager. Erik was appointed in April 2022 and led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024. We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future. Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team as interim head coach, supported by the current coaching team, whilst a permanent head coach is recruited.”
