Leverkusen have lost three important players as well as one of their best managers and their overall performance is getting worse.
I think that number is not only three... There are even more players who had an important role in team success but left this summer.
Erik ten Hag had a difficult job to do. He made new signings and he just needed time to see whether that would work. But the board were so impatient as it seems...
I wonder what Xabi Alonso would have done in the same situation. Success or failure?
Exactly, the number of players that left Leverkusen are more than three, in fact they are more than five because all their best key players left because Alonso left and some of the key players have already agreed to join another club before the end of last season and they started leaving one after another. Ten Hag was confused and couldn’t use the remaining players because the management didn’t want to sign key players for him, and they end up sacking him unaware which I think will be a reason to stop some coaches to join the team because without new players, most coaches will fail in the team. Therefore, indium expect any reputable manager to take the job now.
