Well, that’s the issue, if the management expects Ten Hag to keep Leverkusen in the top 3, it will be a tough challenge. Leverkusen has already sold two key players, which weakens the squad. As a result, it’s unlikely that Ten Hag will be able to lead the team in competing for a top three finish. Of course, this is just my assumption. On the other hand, Dortmund is currently building a stronger squad. If they manage to sign several quality players, Leverkusen could struggle to keep up. I believe Leverkusen may fall short of its recent success. And if Ten Hag fails to deliver strong results early in the season, his reputation could suffer even further.
