Erik ten Hag sacked by Bayer Leverkusen after two games in record early Bundesliga exit
Bayer Leverkusen have fired Erik ten Hag after just two Bundesliga matches, the earliest dismissal of a coach in league history. The club cited a failed tactical transition and poor chemistry after Xabi Alonso’s departure. Ten Hag said he was shocked and argued he wasn’t given time. The decision marks a swift course correction for Leverkusen as they prepare to reset under an interim coach.
