Wolverhampton Wanderers have placed Erik ten Hag on their list of managerial possibilities following the sacking of V\u00edtor Pereira. While a return for former boss Gary O\u2019Neil remains under consideration, The Athletic report Ten Hag is also being \u201cconsidered\u201d as a potential successor.<\/p>\n
The 55-year-old is a free agent after Bayer Leverkusen sacked him in September. His spell in Germany lasted only long enough to oversee two Bundesliga matches before the club made the change.<\/p>\n
Wolves have \u201cdiscussed internally\u201d the prospect of bringing Ten Hag back to the Premier League. He left Manchester United last October after nearly two and a half years in charge. During his time as United manager he won the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024, but his tenure was overshadowed by defensive problems, inconsistent results and a well known falling out with Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n
Statistically, Ten Hag oversaw 128 matches with the Red Devils across all competitions. He guided the team to 70 wins, 23 draws and 35 loses. Of the 85 Premier League games he managed, the Red Devils lost 27 of them.<\/p>\n
His dismissal followed a poor start to the 2024\u201325 campaign when United collected just 11 points from their opening nine matches. That run came after an eighth place finish the previous season, which at the time represented the club\u2019s worst finish in the Premier League era.<\/p>\n
Should Ten Hag take the Wolves job he would inherit a side struggling for results, with the club on two points from their first 10 matches. Any appointment would represent a significant task, moving from a short stint in Germany back into a relegation fight in the English top flight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
