Incredible news!
Bayer 04 Leverkusen has parted ways with head coach Erik ten Hag with immediate effect.
Training will be taken over by the assistant coaching staff for the time being.
As expected, Leverkusen has taken a bold step to part ways with Eric Ten Hang after failing to get positive results from just few games he's managed this new season. One of the shortest serving manager in the history of coaching?
It's how modern football management works with severe lack of patience to head coaches. Ten Hag succeeded in Ajax Amsterdam, failed in Manchester United but Bundesliga is not a too tough league like Premier League and Ten Hag is able to perform well there. Bayer Leverkusen must also be very realistic with many big changes they had in this summer by losing a head coach (Xabi Alonso) and many important star players (Tah, Frimpong, Xhaka, Wirtz) and it's unrealistic to request Ten Hag winning Bundesliga title in this season.
If their target is only top four, Ten Hag is able do to this for them and 1 point after two first matches isn't like nightmare. Anyway Bayer Leverkusen made the decision, sacked Ten Hag and they will face with more difficulties in coming months with a new head coach. I guess it can be a season they change the head coach position not only one, two but three or four times and they have high risk of finish this season beyond top four with this chaos.
