Former Antwerp head coach set to join Erik Ten Hag at Bayer Leverkusen | OneFootball

HLN are reporting that Antwerp’s now former head coach Andries Ulderink is set to move to the Bundesliga. According to the Belgian paper, Ulderink is set to become part of the coaching set up under Erik Ten Hag at Bayer Leverkusen. Former Ajax and Manchester United head coach Ten Hag took over at the club following Xabi Alonso’s departure to Real Madrid. Since leaving Antwerp, Ulderink has been helping at Cape Town City. The South African side face a relegation play-off group against Orbit College and Casric Stars. There had been rumours that he would taking over in the Western Cape, but it appears he is instead going to reutrn to Europe.

However, talks are ongoing between Ulderink’s camp and Erik Ten Hag’s new side over bringing the former Antwerp head coach in as an assistant. Dutch coach Ulderink took over for the play-offs in the Pro League from Jonas De Roeck after he was fired. However, the side still missed out on European football. They finished fifth, with Ulderink only winning two of his 13 matches in charge. The seventh loss under him was the most crucial, as it came in the play-off for the final European ticket. Charleroi beat Antwerp at the Bosuil thanks to a late goal from Parfait Guaigon.
