Manchester United has officially announced that Erik ten Hag has extended his contract with the club until June 2026. The 54-year-old coach had just one year left on his previous deal, but has now signed an extension after leading the team to an FA Cup victory last season. Reports suggest that his new contract is on the same terms as his previous one.
In his first season at Old Trafford, ten Hag guided the team to a third-place finish in the Premier League and a Carabao Cup triumph. Though the team finished 8th in his second season, they ended on a positive note by winning the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
New sporting director Dan Ashworth expressed his confidence in ten Hag, stating, “With two trophies in two seasons, Erik has proven himself to be one of the most consistently successful coaches in European football. Despite areas for improvement identified in the club’s review of last season, it was clear that Erik was the ideal partner to help drive up standards and results.”
The club is hopeful that with a strengthened football leadership team in place, working closely with ten Hag will help achieve their shared ambitions for Manchester United. There are also rumors that United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy could join ten Hag’s coaching staff in the upcoming summer.
