A look at the Premier League’s Dutch managers and how they have fared

Manchester United have made Erik ten Hag the Premier League’s ninth Dutch manager.

No Dutchman has led a team to the league title, although three have FA Cup medals in their trophy cabinets with Chelsea or United.

Here, the PA news agency looks at the record of Ten Hag’s predecessors.

Chelsea (player-manager) 1996-98, Newcastle 1998-99

Played 104: Won 41, Drew 26, Lost 37. Win rate: 39 per cent

The Premier League’s first Dutch manager became the first black manager to win a major English trophy with the Blues’ 1997 FA Cup win. They also finished sixth in the league and were second the following season when he was controversially sacked, with chairman Ken Bates labelling him “arrogant”.

He was sacked after a poor start to the 2007-08 season and replaced by Juande Ramos but returned to England nearly four years later with Fulham, leading them to a top-half finish and then 12th the following season.

P34: W18, D12, L4. Win rate: 53 per cent

Roman Abramovich twice turned to Hiddink to steer the ship after sacking first Luiz Felipe Scolari in 2009 and then Jose Mourinho in 2015.

His first spell brought a third-placed finish, a controversial Champions League
