Elanga said: "Erik’s got amazing records in Europe. He has done very well with Ajax.

"He’s a manager who I’m really, really looking forward to working under and I know he can bring a lot of his leadership and qualities to this team. It will be good.

“We know we haven’t had the best of seasons, but, with more work in pre-season and the new manager coming in, it should be really, really good."
