Hiring Ten Hag was a mistake, which is best ignored for now. I started to gain confidence in Leverkusen after he was fired, especially after the appointment of Kasper Hjulmand. If Kasper Hjulmand is not a very familiar face in club football, especially for me. Before being appointed to Leverkusen, he was the coach of the Danish national team. Under him, Denmark played in the semi-finals of the UEFA Euro 2020. He even represented them in the FIFA World Cup and the Euro Cup in 2022. He resigned in 2024 after the team failed to reach the desired goals and the team deteriorated. After that, he is currently appointed as the coach of Leverkusen. Although he has no great achievements, I think he will be able to take Leverkusen to a good position.
Yes, focusing on ETH would be wrong and they need to focus on the future. However, the future isn't bright with a new manager neither. He wasn't a manager for long, and not for a club, not in a while at least. for the last 5-6 years, he managed Norway, a country, and also was consultant, so basically he did not really manage a club for a very long time.
The real trouble will begin now because they can't just fire yet another manager, not after 3 games at least. If he was an interim manager then I would understand, like for 5 games he is there until they find a better one. But no, he is full time hire, and that means they are going to end up with many bad results and even if they do end up firing him, I think they will have to wait a while.
