Intriguing Ten Hag presence for Roma vs. Juventus fires up rumour mill | OneFootball

Reports are swirling around Italian media today that former Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag will be at Roma vs. Juventus tonight, fuelling rumours about his future.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.

According to Radio Mana Sport Roma, Ten Hag was spotted at a hotel in the Eternal City and is set to be in the stands of the Stadio Olimpico for this evening’s Serie A showdown.

This is bound to raise eyebrows because both clubs are looking for a new coach for next season.

Claudio Ranieri has transformed Roma and they go into this game on a run of seven consecutive league victories, but he came out of retirement to rescue their campaign and has no intention of extending that tenure.

As for Juventus, they fired Thiago Motta last week to bring in Igor Tudor on a short-term contract, though he does have an option to extend at the end of the season.

Ten Hag could of course simply be in Rome for pleasure as a tourist and happen to take in a big Serie A match while he is here.

The Dutchman turned 55 in February and was fired by Manchester United in October 2024, having started the season with four wins, five draws and five defeats.
