“He wants his drinks to be laid out in a straight line. Everything has to be perfect in his eyes. People need time to get used to that,” Overgoor told Sky Sports.

“We have one person whose job is to guard the pitch. Every day Erik would come to him and say the grass should be two millimeters or something like that.”

Overgoor also claims Ten Hag as a special coaching figure. Overgoor assessed that Ten Hag had the ability to make the team he coached perform better.

“It was a big difference for everyone at the club. He changed everything. Remember, this is not a big club in Holland. We don’t have the best facilities but he makes them the best.”

“Many coaches come to a club like the Eagles and have the attitude that they have to deal with it. He doesn’t deal with it. Instead, he makes it even better.”
