Erik ten Hag remains in the spotlight, despite his dismissal from Manchester United earlier this season.
After being spotted at the clash between PSV and Ajax in Eindhoven last week, the former Ajax manager turned up at the Stadio Olimpico this weekend, where he attended the Serie A clash between AS Roma and Juventus.
Ten Hag was spotted in the stands in Rome, where he was present ‘by invitation’ according to Ziggo Sport. Rumours about a possible move to Serie A have been reignited, especially given that the contract of current Roma coach Claudio Ranieri expires at the end of this season.

AS Roma will have to look for a new head coach next summer. The experienced Ranieri took over halfway through the season but only signed until the end of the current campaign.
Whether Ten Hag is actually on the wish list in the Italian capital, is still unclear yet his appearance has certainly sparked rumours of a deal.
Familiar faces in Rome
A possible move to Roma could also mean a reunion for Ten Hag with two old acquaintances.
Devyne Rensch and Anass Salah-Eddine were signed by Roma earlier this year. Rensch came from Ajax, Salah-Eddine from FC Twente. However, neither started against Juventus.
Ten Hag worked intensively with Rensch and Salah-Eddine during his successful years in Amsterdam. Rensch broke through into the first team of Ajax under his leadership.
