Bayer Leverkusen separated with the coach head Erik Ten Hag after only two games of the Bundesliga in office, announced the club on Monday.
The 54 -year -old Dutchman was appointed during the summer as a successor of Xabi Alonso, who left the German champions for Real Madrid. His arrival was seen as a new beginning for Leverkusen following their historic victory of the Bundesliga title last season under Alonso.
However, the kingdom of ten hag came abruptly after a disappointing start of the countryside. The team was unable to impress in their opening of two league games, raising doubts about its ability to continue the momentum built by its predecessor.
Ten hag had previously been fired by Manchester United in October 2024 after a turbulent spell at Old Trafford. His move in Germany has been considered an opportunity to reconstruct his reputation, but the initial dismissal marks another setback in his managerial career.
Leverkusen confirmed that a temporary coach will be appointed while the search for a permanent replacement begins. The club underlined its commitment to maintaining high -performance standard as it looks forward to national and European challenges this season.
