Erik ten Hag has officially stepped down as manager of Manchester United’s men’s first team, the club confirmed on its website.
Appointed in April 2022, Ten Hag brought new energy to the team and led Manchester United to notable successes, including a Carabao Cup victory in 2023 and an FA Cup triumph in 2024.
These achievements marked United’s return to winning ways, and Ten Hag’s contributions have left a lasting impact on both the squad and fans alike.
The club expressed gratitude for Ten Hag’s dedication and efforts during his tenure, acknowledging the significant progress made under his leadership.
“We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future,” Manchester United noted in their statement.
To ensure a smooth transition, former United striker and fan favorite Ruud van Nistelrooy has been appointed as interim head coach.
Van Nistelrooy will work alongside the current coaching team to maintain continuity as the club embarks on its search for a permanent head coach.
Known for his successful playing career at Old Trafford, van Nistelrooy’s return is expected to bring a familiar approach and renewed enthusiasm to the squad.
The club has assured fans that the recruitment process for a permanent head coach is underway. In the meantime, all eyes will be on van Nistelrooy as he steps into this new role, aiming to build on the progress made and inspire the team forward.
