So, what can we expect from Eric Ten Hag? He hopes he can return to the pinnacle of his coaching career and achieve the same success he achieved during his time with Ajax Amsterdam. This isn't just his first season coaching Leverkusen, but it's also his first coaching a Bundesliga club. He does have considerable coaching experience, but he lacks the experience to coach a Bundesliga club. And if, with ETH, Bayer Leverkusen can't maintain its status as a title contender, then hiring ETH as Leverkusen's new coach would be a poor decision by the club's owners. It's still too early to judge ETH, but the signs of Leverkusen's decline under ETH are already evident.
Yet another football fan judging Ten Hag due to his past Manchester United history, people need to understand that Ten Hag is definitely a good manager but no matter what he needs time to rebuild this Bayer Leverkusen team that has lost almost four key players with the likes of Jonathan Tah, Florian Wirtz and Jeremy Frimpong who were back bone of club last season are out and This will affect the imbalance of the club and the playing pattern which he needs to rebuild fast.
In terms of regrets I still think in all of the options that Bayer Leverkusen had then Erik Ten Hag was the best candidate with the right portfolio of track winning record among the people shortlisted for that interview. So it shouldn’t be a thing for them to regret even if it didn’t work out
