Ten Hag has a new destination

Ten Hag becomes Leverkusen head coach for the 2024/25 season.

According to The Athletic , the Dutch strategist will officially become the new head coach of Bayer Leverkusen from the 2025/26 season. The agreement between the two sides is completed with a 2-year contract.

This is a quick and decisive move by Leverkusen after confirming their farewell to Xabi Alonso. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano added: "Ten Hag prioritizes choosing Leverkusen instead of returning to Ajax, the team that helped him make a name for himself in Europe."

The Dutch tactician has been out of work since October last year, after being sacked by MU in the context of the team falling to 14th place in the Premier League after only 9 rounds. Despite leading MU to the top 3 and winning two titles including the Carabao Cup (2022/23) and FA Cup (2023/24), he still had to leave the hot seat after a series of disappointing starts.

Before moving to Old Trafford, Ten Hag had an impressive four-and-a-half years at Ajax, leading the team to the 2018/19 Champions League semi-finals with resounding victories over Real Madrid and Juventus. He also spent time in Germany, leading Bayern Munich's youth team from 2013-2015, when Pep Guardiola was in charge of the first team.

As for Leverkusen, after a magical 2023/24 season with a Bundesliga and German Cup double, the team ran out of steam in the current season, finishing second and empty-handed. Coach Xabi Alonso will replace Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid.

With the appointment of Erik ten Hag, Leverkusen hopes to maintain its momentum and continue to be a major force in the Bundesliga as well as the European arena in the coming seasons.
