Ten Hag's Ajax seal 36th Dutch title (FRANCE 24)

Ajax secured a second straight Dutch Eredivisie title on Wednesday with a 5-0 thrashing of Heerenveen at the Amsterdam Arena.

Brian Brobbey and Edson Alvarez added further gloss to the scoreline late on as Ten Hag's final home game ended in celebration. PSV missed the chance to cut the gap to two points last weekend when they conceded two late goals in a 2-2 draw at Feyenoord. The club's 36th league crown is the third in charge for outgoing coach Erik ten Hag, who will end his five-year stint at the helm at the end of the season to become Manchester United manager.

Erik Ten Hag wins Eredivisie title with Ajax: How Dutch league ... (Sporting News)

Erik ten Hag, on his way to take the Manchester United managerial role at the end of the season, has secured his third Eredivisie league title with Ajax.

He may have earned a fourth title had it not been for COVID-19 ending the Dutch league early in 2019-20 with the club sitting atop the table, but no title was awarded. This approach has been widely adopted across the globe over the last 15-20 years, and it's a feature of Ten Hag's playing style. That saw Ten Hag select 38-year-old Remko Pasveer as his new starter this season, a bold choice at the time of the appointment. The club was handed a bout of adversity when first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana was handed a nine-month doping ban by UEFA in February, 2021. However, the team slipped towards the end of the season, and the wait to confirm the league title was longer than anticipated. In the process the club has continued to develop a steady influx of young talent, who have contributed significantly alongside older veterans throughout Ten Hag's managerial tenure.
