Leverkusen replaced Coach Ten Hag on the 1st (Korea time). Ten Hag was disgraced only 62 days after taking the helm of Leverkusen. Ten Hag, who was appointed to replace Xavi Alonso, who left Real Madrid, packed up after just two games. It is the shortest dismissal of the game in Bundesliga history. It is a humiliation that broke the previous record of five games.
The ostensible reason is poor grades. Leverkusen lost 1-2 to Hoffenheim in the opening match of the Bundesliga in the 2025-2026 season at home on the 23rd of last month, followed by a 3-3 draw against Werder Bremen on the 30th. In the Bundesliga, he only had one draw and one loss and one point. On the 16th of last month, he won 4-0 in the first round of the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal against SG Sonnenhof Gross Aspach, but his opponent was a fourth-division team.
Coach Ten Hag has been at odds with the leadership since the summer transfer market. Leverkusen, which has shown its best performance over the past two seasons, has started a new round with Alonso's departure. Florian Birz, Jonatantha and others left. Malik Tillman and Jarrell Quansa were brought in, but they needed time. On top of that, coach Ten Hach's unique self-righteousness stimulated the team. In the match against Bremen, scenes of internal division came from all over the ground.
Eventually, the knife was pulled out. Leverkusen's leadership has decided that there is no future under Ten Hag's leadership. General manager Simone Rolfes "It wasn't an easy decision. No one wanted to take this step. However, over the past few weeks, we have decided that it is impossible to create a new and successful team with this kind of configuration", he explained. Fernando Kayo also said, `I thought it was painful to part ways early in the season, but it was necessary," he stressed.
Coach Ten Hach expressed his disappointment to the club, but the water has already spilled. Ten Hag, who failed at Manchester United, also resigned from Leverkusen in disgrace.
Leverkusen immediately looked for a replacement. According to Marca, Spain on the 3rd (Korea time), there are a total of three candidates. Raul, Edin Terzic and Marco Rosé are mentioned. The most likely candidate among them is Raul, the eternal legend of Real Madrid. He is from Spain, which is a good match with Leverkusen, and he also enjoyed success by leading the Real Madrid youth team. Alonso was also from Real Madrid. In addition, he received a high score for playing for Schalke and understanding the Bundesliga well. Coach Raul was mentioned as a candidate before Ten Hach was appointed. Coach Raul is resting after putting down the baton of Real Madrid's second division.
