    JUST IN: Leverkusen Sack Ex Man United Coach Ten Hag in Stunning Early-Season Shake-Up

    Erik ten Hag’s brief stint at Bayer Leverkusen has come to a stunning end—just three matches into his tenure.

    Hired in May to replace Xabi Alonso, who departed for Real Madrid after guiding Leverkusen to Bundesliga glory, Ten Hag was expected to usher in a new era.

    Instead, his reign collapsed before it could truly begin.

    The final straw came on Saturday, when Leverkusen threw away a two-goal lead in a 3-3 draw against Werder Bremen.

    Despite Bremen going down to ten men after Niklas Stark’s red card, Leverkusen conceded a gut-wrenching 94th-minute equalizer.

    It was a performance that echoed their opening-day defeat to Hoffenheim, where they lost 2-1 at home despite scoring first through Jarell Quansah.

    On Monday morning, the club announced Ten Hag’s dismissal. In a terse statement, Leverkusen confirmed: “Bayer 04 Leverkusen have parted ways with head coach Erik ten Hag… Training will be overseen by the current backroom staff on an interim basis.”

    Simon Rolfes, the club’s managing director of sport, admitted the decision was painful but necessary: “Nobody wanted to take this step. However, the past few weeks have shown that building a new and successful team with this setup is not feasible.”

    Ten Hag, once hailed for his tactical acumen at Ajax and later tested at Manchester United, now finds himself at a crossroads.

    His time in Leverkusen will be remembered not for triumphs, but for a rapid unraveling that left fans and pundits stunned.
