Ten Hag may have had a bad time at Manchester United but that doesn't make it a certainty that similar faith could catch up with him at Leverkusen. He can turn the tide and change a lot of things with the club if only he can start now to take bold steps in making the right decisions with his team.
The current squad in the team he took over as the manager is the reason why everyone is pointing that he's going to fail in Bayer Leverkusen, the team has sold some good players and they are yet to replace them how do you think Ten Hag is going to succeed in the league when he couldn't make it in Manchester United where he had different players that he could work with how? I hope he turns things around and make himself a good name cause if he fails this time then he will find it difficult to get a big contract with any big team.
Alright, but why would Ten Hag agree to take a job to a club he wouldn't be getting the funds to sign some of the fine players into his team but rather the club management be selling off the good players he could use for the season to build a strong competitive team. If Ten Hag has to lead another bad season with Leverkusen after leaving United with a bad record it will be a dent to his profile in getting a bigger job after Leverkusen's, it is something he should know.
Ten Hag is certainly taking a gamble with his career by accepting Leverkusen's offer, having just failed as manager of Manchester United and subsequently moved to Leverkusen, while they are also selling key players. This will certainly be a challenge for Ten Hag, but he seems quite prepared for the risks he will face at Leverkusen. Of course, in his first season at Leverkusen, we can't expect much from a close competition with Muenchen, as he needs to adapt and build a strong team foundation.
Perhaps Leverkusen's target of finishing in third or second place would be a good achievement for both Ten Hag and Leverkusen. Competing with Muenchen with an already solid squad would be difficult. Ten Hag has certainly considered the offer carefully, as managing Leverkusen is much more comfortable than managing the pressure-filled Manchester United. If the pressure is not too high, it will make the coach more relaxed and the dressing room more peaceful so that the strategy he implements will run according to plan.
