Bayer Leverkusen have sacked coach Erik ten Hag after two league games in charge, with the weekend draw against Werder Bremen not enough to save the Dutchman's job.
Leverkusen lost their first Bundesliga match 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim, immediately putting Ten Hag under pressure, and Saturday's 3-3 draw against 10-man Bremen ends his brief reign at the club.
Ten Hag, who had been out of management since his sacking by Manchester United in October, replaced Xabi Alonso in May after the Spaniard left to take charge of Real Madrid.
Leverkusen finished second in the league last season after Alonso guided them to the double in the 2023-2024 season when they won their first Bundesliga title without losing a single match.
Ten Hag's task of emulating Alonso's successful spell at the club was made even more difficult by the end-of-season departures of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Amine Adli, Jonathan Tah and Granit Xhaka, among others.
His Leverkusen career began with a 4-0 win over fourth-tier side Sonnenhof Grossaspach in the first round of the German Cup, but with the club now five points behind leaders Bayern Munich and a Champions League campaign on the horizon, Ten Hag has already been sacked.
