Although the reporter Han Bing reported that although he has not yet signed the pledge, the Ajax manager will coach Manchester United with almost no suspense. Can the up-and-coming coach, who has been successful in the Champions League and Eredivisie in recent years, become a savior for Manchester United? With the Red Devils losing 1-0 to relegated team Everton and heading into next season's Champions League hopes becoming more and more elusive, Tenhach has become the new last hope for Manchester United fans.
The embattled current Manchester United coach Rangnick was full of praise for Tenhach, but Manchester United fans and the British media still had doubts about the coach, who had never had experience in the Premier League. After all, his Dutch compatriots De Boer, Koeman and even Van Gaal, who has coached Manchester United, have not succeeded, and the latter has even publicly dissuaded Tenhach from taking over such a "business club" as Manchester United... But in any case, Tenhach is the representative of the Dutch middle generation of coaches and is likely to take the helm of Manchester United this summer. At the very least, his success in the Netherlands proves that he will always be more likely to succeed than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Rangnick, who has never been in charge of the giants, right?
As a player, Tennhach was an all-rounder, playing as a midfielder, coming from the small team Twente, and the only success of his career was to defeat the giants Eindhoven under Ruten in the 2000/01 season to win the Dutch Cup. After retiring in 2002, he started with the Twente youth team and led the team to the Dutch A1 youth championship in the 2006/07 season. After that, he followed his mentor Ruten to coach Eindhoven, and his 3 years as a teaching assistant benefited a lot, laying the foundation for Tenhach's subsequent success.
In the 2012/13 season he came to prominence as he coached the Eredivisie team Forward Eagles, leading the team back to the Dutch First Division after 17 years, which attracted the attention of Bayern Munich. In the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons, Tenhach was bayern's second team coach, and it was Pep Guardiola who was bayern's first team coach at the time. The ambitious Tenhach then chose to return to the Netherlands to develop in order to coach the first team. In the 2015/16 season, he led the fish-belly team Utrecht to the final of the Dutch Cup, and although he failed to win the cup, he won the Cruyff Award for best coach in the Netherlands. The following year Utrecht passed the European qualifying play-offs and entered the Europa League.
At the beginning of 2018, Tenhach was appointed firefighting coach by Ajax, and he won the Dutch national derby with a 2-0 win over Feyenoord on his debut, and he was also the first coach to coach the Dutch national derby on his debut. Since then, Tenhach has become a supernova in the European coaching world, leading Ajaxlenk to defend champions Real Madrid and Juventus in the 2018/19 season, reaching the top four of the Champions League after 22 years, and also contributing top stars such as De Ligt, Frenki De Jong and van der Beek to European football. Tenhach is the third coach to reach his first nine unbeaten champions league games after Louis van Gaal and Guardiola. Last March, he averaged 2.43 points per game in his first 100 games in charge, making it the Dutch A record for this statistic. In January, he reached the milestone of 100 wins in just 128 league games, which is also unprecedented.
The famous coach who has won the title of best coach in the Netherlands three times in 6 years has become the representative of Dutch coaches in all of Europe. Naturally, it is also sought after by the five major league giants. In the past three years, there have been giants who have extended an olive branch to him, including Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and other clubs he is familiar with. Of course, Tenhach himself still hopes to break into the Premier League and realize his dream of winning in the richest league. Although he is expected to achieve three consecutive championships in the Dutch League, he has been selling his main players for three consecutive seasons and has had to continue to rely on veterans and promote new players.
Although his predecessor De Boer also achieved success at Ajax, it is regrettable that he did not prove the strength of the Dutch mesozoic coach on larger platforms such as the Premier League, and the same failure also happened to Koeman. This is one of the reasons why Manchester United fans are worried that Tenhach will repeat the mistakes of the past, but after all, Tennhach's football is more ornamental and creative than the previous two, which is naturally more in line with the psychological expectations of Manchester United fans.
Tenhach's tactical thinking was heavily influenced by the Ajax tradition, including his predecessor, Louis van Gaal. But during Bayern's second-team coaching, he also drew nourishment from Guardiola. Compared with the dying Van Gaal, Tenhach was more obsessed with attacking in his prime, with a tactical system dominated by 4231 and 433, with occasional attempts at 4141 formations. Although the main lineup has changed greatly in 4 seasons due to the serious brain drain, his Ajax has maintained an almost crazy offensive data.
This season, Ajax have scored 85 goals in 29 league games and 22 goals in 8 Champions League games, counting only 5 of the Super Cup's 38 games without scoring, and scoring more than 5 goals in a single game as many as 10 times! Nine goals in the Champions League group stage and Sport of Portugal, seven against Borussia Dortmund, and 12 goals in four games against Eindhoven and Feyenoord, the eredivisie' two major champions, are an astonishing attack that no other European league giants can match. Ajax has averaged more than 20 shots per game in the Eredivisie this season, and although the low level of the league has affected the significance of the reference, it is enough to show his dedication to attack.
This season, after losing the main attackers such as Ziyech, Neres, Deste and van der Beek, Ajax has fully reorganized the offensive end, with Ivorian high striker Alai and Brazilian winger Anthony filling the offensive gap, and youth youngsters Tiber and Grafenberg becoming the core of the midfield. But Tenhach's team is not just relying on the attacking 4-man group, but fully involved, so far in the Eredivisie so far this season, 18 have scored goals, 17 have assist data, full coverage of the front and back, also rare in european mainstream leagues. Alai and the 33-year-old veteran Tadić are the masters of the offensive data set, but Anthony, Klassen, Mazlau have also contributed a lot, and even the entire defense has scored. You know, Tenhach only used a total of 23 players in the Eredivisie.
Tenhach's 4231 actual combat conversion is larger, sometimes closer to 4411, bilateral defenders participate in the attack, double back to consolidate the defense, the center has shadow forwards behind the assistance, offensive tactics are more abundant, which is also the most urgent problem that Manchester United needs to solve at present. Neville, Ferdinand and other Manchester United stars have called on the Red Devils to sign Tenhach, which is to value his closest to restoring Manchester United's offensive football tradition.
