Erik ten Hag
August 2025
Erik ten Hag has been sacked just 62 days into his tenure after Leverkusen blew a two-goal lead against ten-man Werder Bremen in a 3-3 draw, following an opening defeat to Hoffenheim. The club’s hierarchy lost confidence after two poor Bundesliga results, with senior officials deeming his position untenable. The Dutchman’s brief spell highlights growing instability at Leverkusen, who acted swiftly after the collapse deepened concerns about his ability to steady the team.
