Erik ten Hag could return to coaching sooner than expected, and not just at any destination. After leaving Manchester United, the Dutch coach is strongly linked to becoming the new manager of Bayer Leverkusen, the team that clinched the Bundesliga title under the guidance of Xabi Alonso. With the Basque coach on the way out, all eyes are now on the former Ajax boss as the chosen one to continue the ambitious project of the German outfit.

Erik ten Hag, successor to Xabi Alonso

In Germany, various sources already place Ten Hag as the top favorite on a list that includes other names, although not with the same strength or consensus. The club from North Rhine-Westphalia is looking for a profile that combines European experience, leadership ability, and an offensive playing vision, qualities that the Haaksbergen-born coach has shown both in the Netherlands and in England, despite his inconsistent spell at Old Trafford.

The challenge for Leverkusen's next coach will be significant. Inheriting a team that has made history in the German league implies maintaining a high competitive level in both the domestic championship and in Europe. The shadow of Xabi Alonso will be long, but Ten Hag has demonstrated in other stages of his career that he knows how to build solid teams, with personality and capable of competing at the highest level.

So far, the German club has not made any official moves, although work is already underway in the offices thinking about the next season. Ten Hag, who is currently without a team after closing his chapter in England, would view an adventure in the Bundesliga favorably, especially leading a team that has recently tasted glory and aims to continue growing in European football.
