Erik ten Hag Declines Ajax Coaching Offer

Erik ten Hag will not return as the coach of Ajax, as confirmed earlier on Tuesday. While there was a slight possibility for his return, reports from De Telegraaf indicate that he had a significant condition.

Ten Hag was open to rejoining Ajax, but only under specific circumstances. According to various media outlets, he ultimately declined the club’s offer. His willingness to return was contingent upon the continued presence of technical director Alex Kroes. However, Kroes decided to align his future with that of head coach Johnny Heitinga and was not persuaded to embark on a new journey with Ten Hag.
