The club made the decision this morning local time and informed him immediately. Ten Hag has since driven away from Bayer Leverkusen's training ground.
Although ten Hag led the team to a 4-0 victory over a lower-league side in the DFB-Pokal, his side managed only one draw and one loss in the first two Bundesliga matches of the season – and in both games, they squandered promising positions after taking the lead. This became the trigger for his dismissal.
On May 26, Bayer Leverkusen officially announced the signing of ten Hag. He officially took office on July 1, and only 62 days had passed since he assumed his role when the sacking was confirmed. This has also set the record for the fastest managerial sacking in Bundesliga history.
