The Dutchman, who was fired by the English club in October, now has the record of being the coach fired earliest in a Bundesliga season
Bayer Leverkusen have sacked manager Erik Ten Hag after just two Bundesliga matches in charge, the club announced on Monday.
Fired by Manchester United last October, Ten Hag joined Leverkusen as the successor to Xabi Alonso, who moved to Real Madrid.
“This decision was not easy for us; nobody wanted to take this step,” sporting director Simon Rolfes said in a statement.
“The past few weeks have shown that the steps to build a new and successful team have not been effective.”
