The 55-year-old won both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup during his tenure with the Red Devils but was dismissed by the board at the end of October after a poor start to the season. He previously worked at Bayern Munich as a coach of the reserve team so he has knowledge of the Bundesliga as well as how to lead a club in the Champions League, which Leverkusen will be a part of new season.
Francesco Farioli has stepped down from his role as Ajax head coach after a their title collapse in recent weeks and are also chasing Ten Hag. Technical director Alex Kroes admitted this week that he had already spoken with Ten Hag who is seen as the perfect replacement. The race for the former United boss is an exciting one and the next few months will reveal where he ends up after several months watching on from the sidelines.
After retiring from playing in 2016, he joined the coaching ranks at the club, leading their Under-19s and Reserves before taking charge of the First Team for the second half of 2022/23 following the dismissal of Alfred Schreuder.
During that spell, he oversaw 14 victories in 22 matches. After Ajax he served on the first-team staff at West Ham under David Moyes, before joining Liverpool and helping them win the title.
The former centre-back, who won 87 caps for the Netherlands, took charge of Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Newcastle United in February, when Slot and Assistant Sipke Hulshoff were serving suspensions.
At Ajax, he is replacing Francesco Farioli as Head Coach after the Amsterdam giants narrowly missed out on this season’s Eredivisie title to PSV Eindhoven.
Liverpool do not have a replacement for Heitinga lined up, but are in the process of recruiting one.
