Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been sacked by Bayer Leverkusen after just two league matches in charge.

Ten Hag, 55, was only appointed by the German club in the summer, having been fired by United in October.

The Dutchman is the third former United boss to be sacked in a week, after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was dismissed by Besiktas on Thursday and Jose Mourinho exited Fenerbahce on Friday.

“Nobody wanted to take this step,” Leverkusen managing director Simon Rolfes told the club website.

“However, the past few weeks have shown that building a new and successful team with this set-up is not feasible.”

Ten Hag’s sacking is the fastest in Bundesliga history, breaking the previous record of five matches.

Leverkusen have earned one point from their first two league games.

After losing 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim on the opening weekend, they drew 3-3 at 10-man Werder Bremen on Saturday, having led 2-0 and 3-1.

Ten Hag signed a two-year contract to succeed Xabi Alonso as head coach in May after the Spaniard, who led Leverkusen to a league and cup double in 2023-24, was appointed Real Madrid boss.

“A parting of ways at this early stage of the season is painful, but we felt it was necessary,” said Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro.

“We remain committed to achieving our goals for the season, and to do that, we need the best possible conditions at all levels and across the entire first team.”

Ten Hag was tasked with bedding in more than a dozen new signings before this season, having lost several key players in the summer.

Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool for a fee rising to £116m, Jeremie Frimpong also moved to the Reds for £29.5m, and Granit Xhaka signed for Sunderland for £13m.

Defender Jonathan Tah joined Bayern Munich on a free transfer, winger Amine Adli moved to Bournemouth in a deal worth up to £25.1m, while goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky joined Monaco.

The three most expensive signings in Leverkusen’s history, Malik Tillman from PSV Eindhoven, Jarell Quansah from Liverpool and Eliesse Ben Seghir from Monaco, all arrived this summer, for a total of £88.4m (102m euros) plus add-ons.

“This decision was not an easy one for us,” added Rolfes.

“We firmly believe in the quality of our team and will now do everything we can to take the next steps in our development with a new setup.”

The club did not name a replacement for Ten Hag, saying the “training work would be taken over by the assistant coaching staff for the time being.

“We remain committed to achieving our goals for the season, and to do that, we need the best possible conditions at all levels and across the entire first team,” added Carro.

“Now it’s a matter of fully implementing and utilising these conditions again.”
