Erik ten Hag 'holds talks with former club over sensational return' just two months after BRUTAL Bayer Leverkusen sacking

Erik ten Hag is being mooted for a return to former club Ajax, according to reports in the Netherlands.

The 55-year-old has held talks over replacing embattled boss John Heitinga at the Amsterdam club after Heitinga managed to secure just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions, according to AD.

Ten Hag met with technical director Alex Kroes this week, the report adds.

The former Manchester United manager has been out of a job since September, when he was sacked after just two league matches in charge of the German club - the fastest dismissal in Bundesliga history - after being appointed as Xabi Alonso's successor in May on a two-year deal.
