The German team is expected to hold an internal meeting after the 2025 summer transfer window closes to consider the future of the Dutch strategist. However, Kicker, Sky Sports, Daily Mail and Bild have all Notification everything happened much earlier.
"Erik ten Hag has had his head coach contract terminated by Bayer Leverkusen after only three matches in charge" - the New York Times expressed.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also confirmed: "The decision was made by the board this morning (local time), Ten Hag has been announced to be fired immediately."
Ten Hag had previously signed a two-year contract to replace Xabi Alonso, who moved to Real Madrid. Despite making his debut with a 4-0 German Cup win over Sonnenhof Grossaspach, Leverkusen disappointed with a 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim in the opening game of the 2025-2026 Bundesliga season, and Werder Bremen equalised 3-3 despite leading 2-1 with a man advantage.

Ten Hag's failure also came from major changes in the squad when key players like Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong went to Liverpool, and captain Granit Xhaka went to Sunderland.
Before coming to Germany, Ten Hag sat in the hot seat at Man United and was fired in October 2024 when the team was only ranked 14th in the Premier League.
According to the New York Times , Ten Hag could not successfully inherit Alonso's temperament. The Dutch coach also soon lost the trust of both players and the board, forcing Leverkusen to make a decisive decision to avoid getting bogged down right from the start of the season.
Before Ten Hag, Besiktas also said goodbye to coach Ole Solskjaer when they lost 0-1 to Lausanne on August 29, being eliminated from the European arena with a total score of 1-2 in the Conference League play-off round.
Coach Mourinho was also in a similar situation when Fenerbahce lost 0-1 to Benfica after two matches in the Champions League play-off round and lost their ticket to the European Cup group stage.
