Erik ten Hag was appointed Leverkusen head coach in the summer after Xabi Alonso left for Real Madrid. Leverkusen lost several key players, including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Granit Xhaka, contributing to a difficult start to the Bundesliga season. Results included a 2-1 home defeat to Hoffenheim and a 3-3 draw with 10-man Werder Bremen after a 4-0 DFB Pokal win at Sonnenhof Großaspach. The shareholder committee and supervisory board, on management's recommendation, decided to part ways with ten Hag immediately. Assistant coaches will take temporary training duties while the club searches for a new manager.
After being sacked by Man United last October, Erik ten Hag has now been dismissed as Bayer Leverkusen manager after only three matches in charge. Ten Hag took over at the BayArena earlier in the summer after Xabi Alonso left to join Real Madrid. It has been a difficult period for the Bundesliga club after losing a number of key players, including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Granit Xhaka.
But despite being having had so little time in charge, Leverkusen have decided to sack ten Hag with immediate effect confirming the decision in an official statement. Bayer 04 Leverkusen has parted ways with head coach Erik ten Hag, effective immediately. This was decided by the shareholder committee, the supervisory board of the corporate club, on the recommendation of the management of Bayer 04. The training duties will temporarily be taken over by the assistant coaching staff.
