Bayer Leverkusen Sacks Erik ten Hag After Just Three Games In Charge

‎Bayer Leverkusen confirmed on Monday that Erik ten Hag, formerly of Ajax and Manchester United, has been dismissed after only three official matches in charge.

‎According to Fabrizio Romano and Sky Germany, Die Werkself have decided to relieve the Dutch manager of his duties.

‎Ten Hag was appointed in the summer to replace Xabi Alonso, signing a two-year contract.

‎Leverkusen conceded two late goals, including a 94th-minute equaliser, after Niklas Stark’s second-half red card for Bremen.

‎Ten Hag’s only home match in charge ended in a 2-1 defeat to Hoffenheim on the opening weekend of the season, with Jarell Quansah scoring the early opener for Leverkusen before the visitors rallied.

‎Leverkusen defeated Sonnenhof Großaspach 4-0 in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.

‎Ten Hag becomes the third former Manchester United manager to be sacked within a week, following Ole Gunnar Solskjær at Besiktas and José Mourinho at Fenerbahçe.

‎Die Werkself will now be on the lookout for a new head coach.
