Bayer Leverkusen have officially sacked Erik ten Hag in a dramatic decision taken by the club’s hierarchy this morning.
The Dutch manager was informed earlier today, with the Bundesliga club making it clear they want a fresh direction at the BayArena.
Already, Leverkusen are drawing up a shortlist of replacements, with Jose Mourinho, Julian Nagelsmann, and even former boss Xabi Alonso being mentioned as potential candidates.
The news has sparked a wave of reactions online. Some fans expressed shock, calling it “too harsh” given Ten Hag’s experience, while others joked that “Leverkusen is speedrunning Manchester United’s mistakes.”
One rival fan wrote on X (Twitter):
“Ten Hag can’t catch a break. First United, now Leverkusen. Maybe it’s time to try Saudi.”
Another Leverkusen supporter said:
“Mourinho at the BayArena would be box office. Imagine the drama!”
