The decision taken by Leverkusen was right because Xabi Alonso's departure to Real Madrid needed a coach who could understand Leverkusen's overall style and although Ten Haq had not succeeded in handling Manchester United, he had a good record when he was a coach Ajax. The English League is slightly different from other leagues and that is why Ten Haq failed and did not fulfill expectations when he was a Manchester United coach because the competition there was quite competitive and a number of players he had were also not in good performance.

I am not sure about Ten Hag's coaching even though he was successful when he was still coaching the Ajax team, but for the Bundesliga I am still not sure about him in making Leverkusen better because in the Bundesliga there are also many strong teams that must be defeated so that each team needs to have a fairly high level of consistency in order to be champions. And this has been shown again by Bayern Munich this season so that Munich has become champions again in the Bundesliga after being thwarted by Leverkusen last season.

Ten Hag did not come to the Premier League with an ordinary team. He had Manchester United and was not successful. Manchester United competes with stronger teams than Leverkusen, but there is also a difference between Leverkusen and Manchester United. I think it is very important for managers to adapt to the team and there are some important details for a team to achieve this harmony. For example, the team needs to have players that are compatible with the manager's understanding of the game, otherwise teams that cannot reflect the coach's wishes on the field cannot be successful. Another reason is that if the coaches' wishes are not met and the team does not consist of players who will do what the coach wants, the coaches should not insist on their wishes and should implement the strategy that suits the team.

Alonso achieved great success and I do not think it is easy to repeat it. Overtaking Munich in the German league is not something that will happen every season.
