Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has emerged as a high-profile target for Wolverhampton Wanderers following the swift dismissal of Vitor Pereira over the weekend. The Premier League’s bottom club, which is currently winless and languishing eight points from safety, is seeking a high-caliber name to save its season. Reports confirm that Wolves have reached out to the Dutchman’s representatives, placing the available manager firmly in the mix to become the next Molineux boss.
The speculation surrounding Erik ten Hag Wolves Manager gained significant traction after former boss Gary O’Neil reportedly ruled himself out of a shock return on Monday. This development caused a dramatic shift in betting odds, with Ten Hag instantly becoming the second favourite, just behind Middlesbrough coach Rob Edwards. Ten Hag has been out of work since a brief stint at Bayer Leverkusen earlier this season.
However, securing the Dutch coach remains an uphill battle for Wolves. Ten Hag is reportedly hesitant about taking over a team facing an immediate relegation fight, a stance which complicates the club’s recruitment efforts. Wolves executives are under pressure to convince a top-tier manager to navigate their perilous position, requiring the club to offer substantial assurances and backing for the free agent.
The race remains open, with the club also holding interest in names like Rob Edwards and former players Robbie Keane and Michael Carrick. Nevertheless, the pursuit of the former Ajax and Manchester United tactician confirms the ambitious target set by the board as they urgently seek stability and Premier League survival under a potential Erik ten Hag Wolves Manager appointment.
