Erik ten Hag has been dismissed from his role as head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, just two games into the Bundesliga season.
The Dutchman’s departure comes in the wake of a dramatic collapse against Werder Bremen last Saturday, where Leverkusen squandered a 3-1 lead against a 10-man side to draw 3-3 — a result that appears to have sealed his fate.
Leverkusen’s hierarchy reportedly made the decision early Monday morning, informing Ten Hag shortly afterward.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on X (formerly Twitter), writing: “Erik ten Hag has just been SACKED by Bayer Leverkusen. Decision made by the club’s hierarchy this morning and manager informed right now.”
Ten Hag had taken over at Leverkusen this summer after being dismissed by Manchester United in November of last year.
Leverkusen, former Bundesliga champions, had high hopes for a fresh start under Ten Hag, but a turbulent opening to the season has prompted an immediate change in leadership.
