Bayer Leverkusen of Germany's Bundesliga, where head coach Xavi Alonso left for Real Madrid, officially announced Ten Hag as the new coach on the 26th (Korea time). The contract is for two years. Ten Hag will lead Leverkusen until June 2027.
Dutch coach Ten Hag was recognized for his leadership at Ajax. He led Ajax to three Eredivisie, two Dutch Cups and one Johan Cruyff Shield. And he took the helm of Manchester United in the summer of 2022.
Coach Ten Hag led Manchester United to third place in the English Premier League (EPL) in his first season, winning the League Cup and finishing second in the FA Cup, making a soft landing. However, it plunged last season.
Manchester United has never fallen below 7th in the EPL, but only ranked 8th. His 14th loss is also the most. Manchester United's humiliation was also the biggest number of runs and negative goal difference. Ahead of the FA Cup final, which is the last stage of the season, coach Ten Hag's future was effectively concluded with 'hardness'. There was a dramatic twist.

However, the 2024-2025 season, the third year, was the worst from the start. Coach Ten Haq has won only three games in nine matches since the opening of the EPL, posting his worst record of 14th place (11 points). In the Europa League, it also fell to 21st place out of 36 teams in the league phase. He was eventually fired in October last year.
Coach Ten Hag said, `Leverkusen is one of the best clubs in Germany and one of the best clubs in Europe. This club provided excellent conditions and was greatly impressed by the negotiations with management"I came to Leverkusen to continue the ambitions shown in recent years. It is an attractive challenge to create an ambitious team by creating something together in this time of change."
Leverkusen defeated Bayern Munich's stronghold last season and won the Bundesliga for the first time since its foundation. In the 2024-2025 season, he finished second to Bayern Munich.
Leverkusen general manager Simone Rolfes became an experienced ten-hach coach with impressive success. His six wins at Ajax were really great."
