Managerial career
After his playing career Ten Cate became assistant manager of Fritz Korbach at Go Ahead Eagles, playing in the Eerste Divisie. When Korbach moved to SC Heerenveen in February 1990 Ten Cate took over as a manager. He managed to win period title, which earned an Eerste Divisie side a place in the promotion play-offs at the end of the season. In these play-offs Go Ahead Eagles placed equal with Korbach's SC Heerenveen, but Heerenveen promoted to the Eredivisie on goal difference.
Ten Cate left Go Ahead Eagles and returned to one of the other teams he was active at during his playing career, SC Heracles where he became the assistant of manager Henk van Brussel. When Van Brussel was unable to finish the season due to health problems in November 1990 Ten Cate became the first team manager and led SC Heracles until 1992, when he was told his contract was no longer extended. He moved to the club where his football career started, amateur side FC Rheden and managed them for one year.
In 1993 Go Ahead Eagles appointed Ten Cate yet again as their manager, this time to replace Jan Versleijen who left the club to manage De Graafschap. In his first year he did well, but when Go Ahead Eagles was at the bottom of the Eerste Divisie during the winter break of the 1994-95 season he was fired. Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam offered him a contract and he led the team to a sixth position in the Eredivisie in 1996, they also reached the final of the KNVB Cup that year, which was lost to PSV Eindhoven 5-2.
In the 1997-98 winter break Ten Cate switched to manage Vitesse, which he led to their best Eredivisie ranking in their history, a third position with records in both the number of points won as the number of scored goals. After a disappointing start in the following season he left Vitesse and led KFC Uerdingen 05 until March 1999 without success. In the 1999-00 season he managed Hungarian side MTK Hungária FC to win the Hungarian Cup and a runners-up place in the PNB League. He returned to the Netherlands and became manager of NAC Breda which he led until 2003 earning them a spot in the UEFA Cup for the 2003-04 season.
He joined Frank Rijkaard at FC Barcelona and became his assistant manager. Together they managed Barça to a Champions League Trophy and La Liga title. In 2006 he replaced Danny Blind as manager at Ajax, where he won the Johan Cruijff-schaal in 2006 and 2007 and the KNVB Cup in 2006. Ajax finished equal on points with PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie in 2006, only to be denied the championship by a single goal in goal difference.
Not exactly great but not abmysal either

Who's taking over at Ajax? Is Jol being heavily linked?

Jol has been linked , he would be a good temporary coach. But I'm not sure with his Spurs situation can they get a coach so soon if he was to leave now. Rumours have it van Basten will take over after Euro 2008 or maybe Frank Rijkaard. Co Adriaanse has been linked but hes coaching already in the middle east.

Dutch source
Dutch source
Henk ten Cate blijft ondanks de uitschakeling door Dinamo Zagreb in de UEFA Cup en de belangstelling van Chelsea bij Ajax. De coach van Ajax zei dat vrijdagmiddag op een persconferentie.
Volgens Ten Cate heeft is er wel contact geweest met Chelsea over de functie van veldtrainer en voelt hij zich gevleid door de belangstelling.
Later meer…

Ten Cate stelde tegenover Nederlandse en Engelse journalisten dat hij dit seizoen zijn contract bij Ajax wil uitdienen en dat hij nog steeds een droom heeft. "Ik wil met Ajax kampioen worden", aldus de coach.
It gets better and better.

This is the normal PR stunt (saying things are normal , and 'i want to win the league'), he knows the majority of fans have lost faith in him and hes lucky that the team hasn't , what is best is if he leaves and take the 'opportunity' at Chelsea.

He is already coaching in the Ajax youth setup. I think he has future admiration to be coach , early days whether he could be a success or not do as well.

That's what Chelski want us to think. This is all a smokescreen for the capture of Jurgen Colin.F!!! then E!!! then Y wrote:Assistant manager, but the main reason that Chelsea wants him is that he and Ronaldinho are some sort of gaylovers.
Hence Dinho will move to Chelsea soon.

At every club he managed he got excellent results...The-Frank-Tavern wrote:raifael, as a numero 2 he is Ok just don't thnk he's any good as a no. 1
NAC Sparta, Go Ahead Eagles, Barcelona, MTK Budapest
... Also at Ajax he did much better than the former coach..
So why he isn't good as numero uno? At Chelsea he has money. At Ajax hadn't that much to buy real top quality. Ajax sold many top players under his regime but the audience still expect results... The expectations at Ajax are always unrealistic in this century. No other coach could have fulfill the fans expectations...
Morten Olsen, Jan Wouters, H. Westerhof, Co Adriaanse, R Koeman, Blind all failed Ajax to win the Champions League....

Latest news is that he has spoken to the Ajax board and Sunday's game will be his last one in charge.

And one of the more creative rumours suggests that next summer Abramovich will also try to reunite Rijkaard with Ten Cate in the hope of reproducing their success at Barça.
