Erik ten Hag may never return to football management as he keeps his options open following his sacking by Manchester United.
Ten Hag was dismissed by United earlier this season and replaced by Ruben Amorim, who has found life tough with the club struggling down in 15th in the Premier League.
The Dutchman has not taken on another job since his departure and he is not planning anything imminently, revealing that he has no idea if football management is in his future.
Since packing up his office at Old Trafford, Ten Hag has decided to stay closer to home when it came to keeping busy.
‘There are so many other things I could do,’ Ten Hag said in a podcast appearance with SEG Stories.
‘Maybe in football, in a new position as a manager. That’s an option. And maybe something completely different.
‘I’ve been working with my brothers lately. We have our own company. Or rather: they have their own company.
‘But we also run a company together with our father. That’s also something I love to do I can now give that more attention and it’s also a lot of fun.’
The Ten Hag family are among the most wealthy in the Netherlands due to their successful real estate company.
That was set up by Ten Hag’s dad, Hennie, back in 1967 and is still going strong.
The family also owns several finance firms, with Ten Hag’s brothers Michel and Rico running them.
But since his exit from Manchester United, which came following defeat to West Ham, Ten Hag has been getting stuck in to help his dad and brothers.
More to follow.
