Bayer Leverkusen Consider Sacking Erik ten Hag After Only Two League Matches

‎Bayer Leverkusen manager, Erik ten Hag, is facing crunch talks over his future after only two Bundesliga matchdays.

‎The Dutchman, returning to management after a mixed stint with Manchester United, replaced Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid over the summer.

‎He has just one win to his name so far, which came in the DFB Pokal against lower-league opposition.

‎A sudden meeting between the two parties was called on Sunday, with the club, according to Sky Sport DE, criticising Ten Hag for lacking a clear game plan and insufficient structure, and communication with the team is also said to be lacking.

‎With an international break approaching, a snap managerial change for the 2023/24 league champions has not been ruled out.

‎In his first two Bundesliga matchdays as Leverkusen boss, he lost the opener to Hoffenheim 2-1. He also watched them squander a 3-1 lead in a draw against Werder Bremen on Saturday, despite holding a man advantage.

‎Ten Hag has a contract that runs until the summer of 2027, and reports suggest that he believes he can turn it around.
