According to The Daily Mail, Erik ten Hag is open to becoming the new Tottenham Hotspur manager.

It has been reported that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is looking at Ajax manager Ten Hag as a potential permanent successor to Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho was sacked as the Tottenham first-team head coach last week, with Ryan Mason taking charge of the side until the end of the season.

The Daily Mail has claimed that Ajax manager Ten Hag is aware of interest in him from Spurs and is willing to speak to the North London club.

The report has added that Ajax believe that the 51-year-old will take the Tottenham managerial job if he gets it.

Good managerial appointment for Tottenham Hotspur?

Ten Hag has a strong reputation in Europe. The 51-year-old started his managerial role at Go Ahead Eagles before taking charge of Bayern Munich II in 2013.

The Dutchman was then the manager of FC Utrecht and has been in charge of Ajax since 2017.

The former FC Twente centre-back won the league title with Ajax in 2019, and there is a very good chance that Ajax will win the Eredivisie this campaign as well.

Ajax have done well in the Champions League as well under the Dutchman, who is ready to take the next step in his career.

Tottenham are a massive club and fans want to see lovely football, and Ten Hag could give them that.

The 51-year-old reportedly being willing to take charge of Tottenham shows his determination and ambition as a football manager.
