The former Manchester United manager has been away from the dugout since leaving Old Trafford in October.
GettyTen Hag is attracting interest from Ajax and Leverkusen this summer[/caption] The Dutch coach won three league titles during his first spell with AjaxGettyTen Hag spent just over two years in charge of the Red Devils following his arrival in the summer of 2022.
He won both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup during his tenure but was dismissed at the end of October after a poor start to the season.
The Dutch coach is now set for a managerial return ahead of the new campaign, though.
Former club Ajax are on the hunt for a new boss following their crushing title race collapse.
Francesco Farioli has stepped down from his role as manager after surrendering a nine-point lead to PSV.
The Italian has since been shortlisted by Tottenham to replace Ange Postecoglou in North London.
Despite beating Twente on Sunday, Ajax missed out on the title by a single point to their rivals.
Their interest in Ten Hag comes three years after he left the club to join United.
He had previously spent four-and-a-half years in charge between 2017 and 2022.
During that time, he won 159 of his 215 matches on his way to six trophies with the club.
