Man United are back in the Champions League on Wednesday night as they take on Bayern Munich
Erik ten Hag will be in familiar territory when he leads out his Manchester United side at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night.
Ten Hag described the job as like 'winning the lottery' and while he and Guardiola didn't mix regularly given the respective demands of their jobs, there was a shared passion for football and the tactical approach. While the Dutchman has become perhaps more pragmatic over the years, as seen at times at United, his Ajax side showcased plenty of the Pep attributes while the Catalan has had the advantage of three high-profile, financially superior clubs to work at.
"Working at a club as big as FC Bayern with such influential personalities as Pep and Matthias Sammer was like winning the lottery. It was a great opportunity to develop as a coach and gain a lot of knowledge from working at a world-class club.” His Mini Pep label might have been an easy one to attach, but now the Dutchman needs to prove he has what it takes to be an elite manager. A win at his old stomping ground would be a significant step.
