Well, that's what I think so far. I don't know why Leverkusen management is too brave to take risks when their mainstay players leave the team but instead bring in a coach who just had a bad experience. I admit Ten Hag is not as bad as we think but competing with the bundesliga giants is not an easy task as a coach who has failed before. So I don't know what drove Leverkusen to bring in Ten Hag but I believe there is something we don't know behind the scenes. Hopefully there will be no bad drama like when he was still with Man United.
I assume maybe Leverkusen wants to manage young talents like Dortmund did, Ten Hag has enough experience in developing and finding talented young talents, maybe this is one of the reasons why they work with the Dutch coach but for the competition in the Bundesliga I am also not sure that Ten Hag can do the same thing as Xabi, let's see if Leverkusen next season will be as strong as before or on the contrary they will return to being an ordinary team? for now just give Ten Hag time.
I hope that the problem Ten Hag had in United wouldn't affect him again. Whereby, he buys young players who cannot meet up with the tasks expected from them by the club. Ten Hag might not be able to transform United, that doesn't mean that he wouldn't do well in Leverkusen since much pressure wouldn't be on him. He shouldn't disappoint Leverkusen and make them feel that they made the wrong choice to hire him to manage the team.
