Erik ten Hag (born 2 February 1970) is a Dutch professional football manager and former player who most recently managed Premier League club Manchester United.\n

Ten Hag played as a centre-back and began his career with Eredivisie club Twente. He joined De Graafschap in 1990, and won the Eerste Divisie in his first season. He rejoined Twente in 1992 and transferred to RKC Waalwijk two years later, where he remained for one season before signing with Utrecht in 1995. Ten Hag returned to Twente for a third time in 1996, where he won KNVB Cup in 2001. He retired from playing in 2002 at age 32.\n

Ten Hag began his managerial career in 2012 at Go Ahead Eagles, where he led the club to promotion to the Eredivisie in his debut season. He then joined Bayern Munich II in 2013, winning promotion to the Regionalliga Bayern in 2014. He returned to the Netherlands in 2015 as head coach and sporting director at Utrecht. He joined Ajax in 2018, where he won three Eredivisie titles, two KNVB Cups, and led the team to the semi-finals of the 2018\u201319 UEFA Champions League. In 2022, he was appointed as the manager of Manchester United. During his tenure at the club, United won the EFL Cup and FA Cup in successive seasons, but failed to make significant progress in the Premier League or European competition. He was dismissed by United in 2024 following a string of poor results.\n
