Ex-Man.United coach, Erik ten Hag sacked by Bayer Leverkusen after just three matches
img>Erik ten Hag has been sacked by Bayer Leverkusen after just three matches in charge.
He was appointed as Xabi Alonsoβs successor in May after the Bundesliga-winning coach left for Real Madrid.
The former Manchester United manager was dismissed on Monday morning following Leverkusenβs 3-3 draw with Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Leverkusen surrendered two late goals, including a 94th-minute equaliser, despite Niklas Starkβs second-half red card for Bremen.
The former champions also lost their first game 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim despite taking an early lead through Jarell Quansahβs goal.
A statement from Leverkusen read: βBayer 04 Leverkusen have parted ways with head coach Erik ten Hag. This was decided by the shareholdersβ committee, the clubβs supervisory body, on the recommendation of the management of Bayer 04. Training will be overseen by the current backroom staff on an interim basis.β
While the clubβs managing director of sport, Simon Rolfes, said: βThis decision was not an easy one for us. Nobody wanted to take this step. However, the past few weeks have shown that building a new and successful team with this setup is not feasible.
βWe firmly believe in the quality of our team and will now do everything we can to take the next steps in our development with a new setup.β
