Ten Hag is a little bit overhyped at the moment. Back in January everyone wanted him sacked after a 4-4 draw against Heerenveen and a 6-2 loss against Feyenoord and the fact that he can't present himself towards the media. With the team he currently has (with 2 of the biggest world talents there are at the moment with De Ligt and De Jong) they should've already been champions.At this rate, we need to seriously examine how big of a mistake it might have been not signing Arteta as our new coach.
Clearly, Arteta has no head coach experience, but all we have to do is look at Erik ten Haag at Ajax.
Prior to coaching at Ajax his only coaching experience was Go Ahead Eagles in the Dutch second division, coaching Bayern II, and finally two seasons at F Utrecht. Learning from Pep Guardiola at Bayern was a pivotal stage in his coaching career. Also, Erik had a far less successful coaching career.
Arteta has quickly become one of Pep's trusted assistants, and as our former captain, he clearly knew the club inside and out.
I'm growing increasingly more confident that Arteta would have been a far better choice than Emery.
On the other hand, fair play to what he has achieved in the CL. But Ten Hag and Ajax in general are a little bit overhyped at the moment.
