Ten Hag Faces Dismissal at Bayer Leverkusen After Poor Start

Bayer Leverkusen manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly on the brink of losing his job after a turbulent start to his tenure at the German club. Appointed on July 1, ten Hag has struggled to replicate the success of his predecessor, Xabi Alonso, who led Leverkusen to an unbeaten Bundesliga title last season.

The club's summer transfer window saw a significant exodus of key players, including Lukas Hradecky, Jonathan Tah, Jeremie Frimpong, and Granit Xhaka. This squad overhaul has left ten Hag with a depleted and less experienced squad, contributing to the team's underwhelming performances in the opening three matches of the season.

With mounting pressure from fans and the club's hierarchy, ten Hag's future at Leverkusen appears uncertain. Reports suggest that the board is already considering alternatives, with potential replacements being scouted in case the situation does not improve.
