Agreement Reached with Coach Ten Hag Regarding Bayer
Bayer Leverkusen Taps Erik ten Hag as New Coach
Bayer Leverkusen, a Bundesliga club, is set to welcome Erik ten Hag as their new head coach, according to reports by Kicker magazine. The 55-year-old Dutch tactician is expected to pen a two-year deal with the German club.
Negotiations between Leverkusen and Ten Hag reportedly reached an agreement in principle in recent days. However, the club had yet to make a final decision in his favor. Now, having made that decision, the contract is merely a formality, requiring only finalization and signature.
Cesc Fàbregas, the coach of Como, had initially been considered for the position. However, the Spaniard's candidacy waned in the weeks leading up to Ten Hag's appointment. Fàbregas, aged 37, who was coy in recent interviews, no longer appeared to be the favorite for the role at the German runners-up.
Previously, Ten Hag managed Ajax Amsterdam and Manchester United. He takes over from Xabi Alonso, who achieved domestic success with Leverkusen before departing for Real Madrid. The club's official channels have confirmed and announced the appointment.
