Manchester United’s new coach Erik ten Hag says he is excited by the challenge ahead following his appointment on Thursday.
United confirmed the appointment of Erik ten Hag on a permanent basis signing a deal until the summer of 2025.
“English Premier League giants Manchester United have confirmed the appointment of Erik ten Hag as their new manager,” a statement from the club read.
Speaking following his appointment, Erik said, “It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead. I know the history of this great club and the passion of the fans, and I am absolutely determined to develop a team capable of delivering the success they deserve.”
“It will be difficult to leave Ajax after these incredible years, and I can assure our fans of my complete commitment and focus on bringing this season to a successful conclusion before I move to Manchester United.”
The Dutchman has been at Ajax since 2017 and led the team to two Eredivisie titles as well as the Champions League semifinals in 2019.
