It won't be easy for Ten Hag because several players have left the team which will certainly impact Leverkusen's performance next season, Ten Hag's failure at Man United will certainly always be remembered and that is what causes many doubts now for Ten Hag, I am the same, I doubt that Ten Hag can continue Xabi Alonso's work.
If anybody thinks at this state when Leverkusen are losing most of their important players, that Ten Hag can actually bring the team to compete against Bayern Munich who retained their squad, same coach and even upgraded the team, then that person truly serves joke. Leverkusen in the first season shouldn't be much expected, the new manager is coming with a change of strategy, players will need time to perfect the new tactics, even Real Madrid after playing Club World Cup are still finding ways to adapt, talk more on Leverkusen.
