A thread on potential new Spurs manager Erik Ten Hag.

Erik Ten Hag was responsible for Ajax’s astonishing champions league run in the 18/19 season which saw his young side knock out Juventus and Real Madrid before losing to Spurs on away goals in the Semi Finals.

Ten Hag likes to build out from the back by using a 4-3-3. You will often see the central midfielder dropping in deep to allow the full backs to bomb forward with the two wingers tucking into the half spaces.

Ajax are able to avoid the opponents press by forming passing triangles all over the pitch, as the ball progresses into the final third the tempo increases. The Main goal is to move the ball through the centre.
