Erik ten Hag has spoken out about the ruthless world of football and the rise of 'opportunistic' figures in club hierarchies behind the scenes after accepting a surprising new position at his former club FC Twente.
The ex-Man United head coach was announced as the new technical director at the club were he made his name as a player last week, months after he was sacked by Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen after just three matches in charge.
'I was dismissed without having the chance to prove my approach works' Ten Hag said at his unveiling.
