Former Manchester United Manger Erik Ten Hag has offered himself to Real Madrid to replace Carlo Ancelotti if he leaves this summmer
As Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Real Madrid beyond this season appears uncertain, speculation about his potential successor has intensified. While Xabi Alonso’s name has been circulating, sources suggest that Erik ten Hag is also a strong contender for the top job. Ten Hag, a 55-year-old Dutch coach, has established himself as a top-tier manager in European football.
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s recent 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final has garnered attention, with Jurrien Timber impressing as a right-back. Former Ajax and Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who has been following Arsenal’s progress, has praised Timber as a “soldier” who is proactive and ruthless on the field.
Ten Hag believes that Timber has more to offer and is delighted with his growth at Arsenal. After a difficult debut season marred by injury, Timber has bounced back this term, making 43 appearances and adapting well to Mikel Arteta’s tactical system.
Timber’s standout performance against Real Madrid, where he won eight duels and nullified Vinicius Junior’s threat, has earned him praise from Ten Hag. Arsenal will look to build on their advantage when they visit the Santiago Bernabeu next week for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final.
