Bayer Leverkusen have dismissed Erik ten Hag as head coach after only two Bundesliga matches, following a turbulent start to the 2025–26 season.

The decision came after a 3–3 draw against 10-man Werder Bremen, in which Leverkusen squandered a 3–1 lead, exposing problems with team discipline and leadership. The team had also suffered a 2–1 home defeat to Hoffenheim earlier in the campaign.

Ten Hag, who replaced Xabi Alonso in May on a contract through 2027, had begun his tenure with a 4–0 DFB-Pokal victory over SG Sonnenhof Großaspach. However, inconsistent league performances led to his rapid dismissal.

Following his exit, assistant coach Rogier Meijer will temporarily oversee training duties until a permanent replacement is appointed.
