Erik ten Hag is confident Ruud van Nistelrooy will be a great help to the team with his Manchester United DNA after the former striker returned to the club to take up a job as assistant manager.
United have confirmed a coaching backroom staff shake-up, with Van Nistelrooy and Rene Hage joining as Ten Hag’s new assistants following the departure of Mitchell van der Kaag and Steve McClaren moving into a first-team coach role.
Forwards coach Bennie McCarthy and goalkeeping coach Richard Hertis have also left United, while Darren Fletcher has made the transition from technical director to first-team coach. Van Nistelrooy returns to the club
having scored 150 goals in 219 games for the club between 2001 and 2006, a move that has fans excited
and Ten Hag hopes the 47-year-old’s arrival will help the team with his skills and intelligence.
“First and foremost is his character. It will take him far and he will be an example to everyone at the club. He will bring the Man United DNA, a very determined character and that is what he has shown as a coach,” Ten Hag said. ” And He has a lot of skills and experience from being an assistant with the Netherlands, then at PSV he managed the Under-19s, Under-21s and the first team as well. “
He has a lot of experience but is also very young, very ambitious and focused. ยูฟ่าเบท http://ufabet999.app He will help every player and the team with his skills and intelligence.”
And despite winning the FA Cup last season, Ten Hag admitted changing his coaching staff was important, with the club also bringing in goalkeeping coach Jelle ten Rovelair from Burnley in addition to Hage and Van Nistelrooy.
“We did well [last season], we did what we wanted to do. But we cannot stand still. “
We want to move forward and we are delighted to have Ruud and Rene in to bring new energy, new initiatives and new creativity. Rene and Ruud will give new energy to the team.” Hague has decided to
leave his role as Go Ahead Eagles manager to take on an assistant role, despite helping the club qualify for Europe for the third time in their history.
“He has got a lot of experience. He started as a coach at a very young age. And He managed the Under-6s all the way up to the top level. In recent years he has only worked with the first team, as an assistant coach but mainly as a head coach and manager. “
He has experience at Utrecht and at Eagles, where he did a great job with the Conference League. It was the biggest surprise last year, I think.
