After Bayer sacking: Erik ten Hag turned down offer from top club | OneFootball

After just two matchdays, Erik ten Hag lost his coaching position at Bayer Leverkusen. Nevertheless, the Dutchman is still a sought-after figure on the coaching market.

The coach has now apparently turned down one of the top clubs that had seemingly hoped to secure his services. According to the Dutch daily newspaper 'De Telegraaf', Twente Enschede, currently 14th in the Eredivisie, is said to have shown interest in ten Hag.

However, the 55-year-old is said to have declined, as he currently has no interest. It wouldn’t have been the first time ten Hag stood on the sidelines for the Dutch club: in 2002, he began his coaching career as assistant coach of the U17s, and years later, he also served as assistant coach for the first team.

Twente is also in a similar situation to Leverkusen, as the club parted ways with coach Joseph Oosting early in the season. Incidentally, ten Hag is not the first well-known coach to turn down the Dutch club; the club also apparently failed to secure Mark van Bommel.
