The further fate of the coach will depend on his results
New management Manchester United intends to leave the head coach Erica ten Haga at least until the end of this season.
Ten Hag previously reacted positively to the news of the leadership change. At the same time, the Dutchman intends to retain his current powers – the right to veto any transfer that is not suitable for him.
It is reported that British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe and his team plan to gradually enter the club’s affairs. The businessman leaves Ten Hag the opportunity to continue working in the old regime until the end of the season; the coach’s future fate will depend on the team’s results. It is noted that the coach will be fired early if the results are too bad.
Earlier, Manchester United officially announced that British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe had acquired a 25% stake in the club. Ratcliffe will pay £1.25 billion for a stake in Manchester United. In the future, the billionaire expects to completely buy out the club.
It is also reported that Ratcliffe, the head of chemical giant INEOS, plans to invest about $300 million in the club, with this money being invested in infrastructure rather than in strengthening the football team. The deal will not be ratified by the Premier League until the end of the January transfer window.
It is expected that the new management will begin large-scale cost optimization. In particular, we are talking about reducing the number of personnel, which is at least 1,000 people, by 25-30%.
Manchester United is in eighth place in the Premier League with 31 points. Ten Hag’s team is 8 points behind Tottenham, which is in fifth place in the European Cup. The Red Devils next face Wigan in the FA Cup on 8 January.
