Erik ten Hag was fired by Manchester United.
Just hours later, he flew to Amsterdam, leaving his wife and their three children in England.
At home in the Netherlands, he took comfort from his parents, reports say Daily Mail.
After barely two and a half years in the post, Erik ten Hag was fired as coach of Manchester United, a message that was communicated on Monday.
According to the Daily Mail, the Dutchman fled England almost immediately via Manchester airport where a private jet took him to Amsterdam.
The 54-year-old made his way to his childhood town of Oldenzaal, where he was comforted by his parents Hennie and Joke.

The family remains in England
Remaining in Manchester were wife Bianca and their three children. Bianca is expected to be the one to fix the administrative parts before she joins her husband in the Netherlands.
Erik ten Hag is described as having close ties to his childhood town of around 31,000 inhabitants. To the Daily Mail, a neighbor says that the local people are very proud of him and he is treated respectfully and is allowed to be in peace there.
Manchester United have started the season weakly and are in 14th place in the Premier League. Ruud van Nistelrooy is interim coach before Rúben Amorim is expected to take over.
