Bayer's arrangement with coach Ten Hag reportedly reached an agreement
Bayer Leverkusen Imminently Set to Appoint Erik ten Hag as New Head Coach
Leverkusen, Germany - According to reputable German sports magazine Kicker, Bayer Leverkusen is on the brink of securing the services of Erik ten Hag as their new coach. The 55-year-old Dutchman is expected to sign a two-year contract with the Bundesliga club.
The deal has reportedly been agreed upon by both parties, although Bayer Leverkusen had yet to make a final decision regarding Ten Hag. However, it appears that a decision has been made, and the contract is now in the formalization process.
Former Como coach Cesc Fàbregas had initially been in contention for the role. The 37-year-old Spaniard was a strong contender, but recent media coyness and a dwindling likelihood of securing the job at Leverkusen have edged him out of the running. Ten Hag, who previously coached Ajax Amsterdam and Manchester United, is set to take over from Xabi Alonso on July 1, 2025.
The appointment comes following Alonso's departure, and Ten Hag has expressed his ambition to maintain and even enhance the team's recent successes, as well as contribute to the club's overall development.
