Erik ten Hag has vowed to take legal action against Ruud van Nistelrooy, accusing the former striker of betraying him while secretly plotting against him. Ten Hag, who had worked with van Nistelrooy at a previous time, claimed that the Dutch forward appeared kind and supportive on the surface, but was secretly working behind his back to undermine him.
Ten Hag’s accusations come after he believes van Nistelrooy’s actions ultimately led to his downfall. Despite van Nistelrooy’s outwardly friendly demeanor, Ten Hag alleges that there were hidden motives at play, and he now feels deceived by someone he trusted.
In a strong statement, Ten Hag vowed not to let the matter rest and insisted he would report van Nistelrooy’s behavior to FIFA. “He was nice when I was still there, not knowing that he was planning evil behind me,” Ten Hag said, expressing his resolve to seek justice. His decision to go public with the allegations and involve FIFA shows the gravity of his claims, as he believes van Nistelrooy’s actions have crossed a line. Fans and football insiders alike are shocked by the unexpected turn of events involving two respected figures in Dutch football.
