Ten Hag will be the Premier League's NINTH Dutch manager... but his compatriots don't offer much hope. None of them won the title and De Boer was sacked after losing all four games - but Van Gaal, Gullit and Hiddink all lifted the FA Cup

Manchester United made Erik ten Hag the Premier League's ninth Dutch manager when they appointed him on Thursday.

The 52-year-old faces an almighty task as the Old Trafford bosses hope he can turn their underperforming stars into dazzling, competitive side once again.

But unluckily for both United and Ten Hag his fellow countrymen's previous fortunes in the English top flight do not provide a promising omen.

Eight Dutchmen have taken charge in the Premier League to varied success. While Louis can Gaal, Ruud Gullit and Guus Hiddink all lifted the FA Cup but not a single one managed to win the title.
