Erik Ten Hag suffers the quickest sacking in Bundesliga history after being sacked by Bayer Leverkusen

Erik Ten Hag has been dismissed by Bayer Leverkusen after only two months in charge, setting a new record for the quickest managerial sacking in Bundesliga history.

Historic Shortest Tenure

The Dutch coach lasted just two league matches before the Leverkusen board decided to part ways. His brief spell surpassed all previous records for shortest tenures in Germany’s top flight.

Fan dissatisfaction played a key role in the decision. Ten Hag never enjoyed prestige among supporters, and early results only amplified the criticism.

Poor Start and Heavy Defeats

Leverkusen opened the Bundesliga campaign with a draw against Werder Bremen and a loss to Hoffenheim, leaving the team 12th in the table.

The situation worsened during preseason, when the German side suffered an embarrassing defeat to Flamengo’s under-20 team in Brazil, a result that drew international attention.

Club Looks for Replacement

The sacking leaves Bayer Leverkusen searching for a new coach. The board is currently evaluating candidates on the market and is expected to make an announcement in the coming days.

Ten Hag’s reputation, already under scrutiny after mixed results at Manchester United, has taken another hit with this record-setting dismissal.
