Leverkusen Sack Ten Hag After Poor Run

Bayer Leverkusen have relieved manager Erik ten Hag of his duties following a decision reached by the club’s board on Thursday morning.

The Dutch tactician, who only recently took charge of the Bundesliga side, was informed of the development during a closed-door meeting earlier in the day.

 Club sources revealed that the decision followed an internal review which flagged concerns over the team’s recent performances and overall direction.

Attention has now turned to potential replacements, with reports in Germany linking former Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Roma boss José Mourinho as a leading candidate. While the club has yet to make an official statement, insiders suggest the Portuguese manager is among the top names being considered.

Leverkusen are expected to announce interim arrangements in the coming days as the hunt for a permanent successor intensifies.
