Coach Erik ten Haach, who took the helm of Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga in the new season, has been replaced after leading only three games. Leverkusen general manager Simone Rolfes said on the Leverkusen website on the 1st (Korea time) that "no one wanted to take such a 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 said.
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. In an away match against Bremen on the 30th, the team had a 3-3 draw. In the Bundesliga, he only had one draw and one loss and one point. The first win was a 4-0 defeat of SG Sonenhof Grosfach, the fourth division, in the first round of the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal on the 16th of last month.
Ten Hag's replacement is the shortest dismissal of the game in Bundesliga history. He was humiliated by breaking the previous record of five games.
Leverkusen officially announced Ten Hag as its new head coach when Xavi Alonso left for Real Madrid on May 26. The term began on July 1, and the contract was two years. Coach Ten Hag has decided to lead Leverkusen until June 2027.

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 in the 2023-2024 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, is 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, he was also replaced in October last year when he fell to 21st place out of 36 teams in the league phase.
Fate in Leverkusen was harsher. Leverkusen let Florian Birtz, Jeremy Frimpong (Liverpool), Granit Xhaka (Sunderland), Jonathan Ta (Bayern Munich) and Amin's son (Bonmouth) leave this summer.
It invested 102 million euros (about 166.4 billion won), the most expensive recruit in Leverkusen history, to recruit Malik Tillman, Jarrell Kwanzaa and Elise Ben Seger. However, as a result, coach Ten Hag failed to train properly.
