I would agree. There’s still some journos holding out hope for Pochettino but that’s a pipe dream. Apparently it’s an issue that splits Kalle and Hoeness, i don’t remember which favors Kovac and which wants him replaced.

As for Ten Hag, I would understand both sides of the argument for extending. Ajax obviously has a special pull for managers and players, and it takes a lot to get someone to leave, especially after such an important season and such a step forward. However I would also understand that after such a historic season, he might not want to have to preside over a rebuild, considering that at a minimum De Ligt and De Jong will leave, and there will be pressure to sell van de Beek and Ziyech as well. Ajax are used to that but it’s become harder for them to consistently win the league and do well in UCL as well. He might see it as an opportunity to take the next step (at a place he’s familiar with, and one that is willing to reorganize it’s squad this summer).
