Bayer Leverkusen have parted ways with head coach Erik ten Hag, bringing his tenure to an end only two months after his appointment.

The decision, reported by Florian Plettenberg, reflects the club’s leadership opting for a swift managerial change after a disappointing start to the season.

Ten Hag was officially informed of his dismissal, with an official club statement expected soon.

Disappointing Bundesliga Start
Leverkusen’s decision was heavily influenced by poor results in their opening two fixtures. In their first match, they fell at home to Hoffenheim, surrendering an early lead as the visitors mounted a comeback.

The second game brought further frustration, as Leverkusen let slip a two-goal advantage against Werder Bremen despite having an extra man for nearly 30 minutes.

The encounter ended in a 3–3 draw, intensifying doubts about the team’s direction under Ten Hag.

What’s Next for Leverkusen?
The club now faces the urgent task of appointing a new head coach to steady their campaign after this dramatic early-season setback. Supporters and analysts will be watching closely as Leverkusen look to regain stability and momentum in the Bundesliga.
