If Erik ten Hag is fired, how much compensation will Man Utd have to pay?

[

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United will lose £9 million (nearly VND300 billion) in compensation if they fire head coach Erik Ten Hag. This amount is lower than the compensation the Old Trafford team paid coach Jose Mourinho in 2018 but significantly higher than the cases of Louis van Gaal and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Last night (May 24), British newspapers simultaneously reported that the Dutch coach will be fired after tonight's FA Cup final. Coach Erik ten Hag will lose his job even if they beat Man City to win the FA Cup.

Coach Erik ten Hag has one year left on his three-year contract, which expires at the start of the 2022/23 season. £9 million is the estimated salary for the remainder of the contract.

Ten Hag will receive 9 million in compensation after terminating the contract.

The compensation that Man Utd must pay Mr. Erik ten Hag could even be reduced. This happens if Man Utd does not participate in European Cup. In addition, the contract between the two parties also has a clause to reduce wages if certain performance targets are not achieved.

According to ESPN, coach Erik ten Hag may have to accept a salary reduction to 6.75 million pounds a season because Man Utd will not be able to participate in the Champions League next season. Therefore, the contract compensation fee will likely be adjusted.

In his first season, coach Erik ten Hag helped the "Red Devils" to third place in the Premier League and win the Carabao Cup. However, the Dutch coach has just endured a difficult second season at Old Trafford. Man Utd only finished in eighth place in the Premier League - the club's lowest position since 1990 - and also suffered an early exit from the Champions League.

The only chance for Man Utd to qualify for the European Cup next season is to beat Man City in the FA Cup final tonight. Last season, the "Red Devils" lost 1-2 to Man City in the FA Cup match.
