Erik Ten Hag becomes the latest former Manchester United manager to sacked after Ole and Jose Mourinho. The manger was sacked after just two games with Bayer Leverkusen.
Ten Hag, 55, was only appointed by the German club in the summer after the departure of Xabi Alonso to join Real Madrid. The Dutchman is the third former United boss to be sacked in a week.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked by Besiktas on Thursday and Jose Mourinho was also sacked by Fenerbahce on Friday.
BayernTverkusen managing director Simon Rolfes speaking through the club’s website he said: “Nobody wanted to take this step.” “However, the past few weeks have shown that building a new and successful team with this set-up is not feasible.”
Ten Hag’s sacking is the fastest in Bundesliga history, breaking the previous record of five matches. Leverkusen have earned one point from their first two league games.
They let a one-goal lead slip to lose 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim and on Saturday conceded two late goals against 10-man Werder Bremen to draw 3-3, having led 2-0 and 3-1.
