Ajax extends with successful coach ten Hag

As the Dutch football record champions announced on Thursday, the successful coach has extended his one-year contract early until 2022. Ten Hag led Ajax to the double and the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.

“We had a fantastic year and now we want to extend that,” said the 49-year-old, who was in charge of Bayern Munich’s second team from 2013 to 2015. Ten Hag emphasized that it would be “damned difficult” to repeat the recent successes, but he and his team would continue to set high goals for themselves in the future.

Sports director Marc Overmars said that ten Hag had to build a new team after the departures of “crucial players” such as Frenkie de Jong (FC Barcelona/75 million euros) and Matthijs de Ligt. The coach, who has been in office since the end of December 2017, enjoys the full trust of the club's management. On social media, Ajax appropriately presented the contract extension under the motto “We don’t stop building something.”
