UEFA Champions League
Erik ten Hag is going through critical hours in Germany. The Dutch coach, who arrived at Bayer Leverkusen with the mission of keeping the club in the European elite, is on the verge of being dismissed just two matchdays into the Bundesliga.
The home defeat against Hoffenheim raised the first alarms. Erik ten Hag failed to make his team show solidity or capability to react at the BayArena, which expected a convincing debut and ended up watching how the visitors took three points without much opposition.
The second blow came in Bremen. Erik ten Hag's Bayer Leverkusen seemed to have the match under control after taking a 1-3 lead and playing with one man more. However, they collapsed in the final stretch and ended up settling for a 3-3 draw, causing great discomfort within the board and the stands.
Erik ten Hag will be dismissed in the next few hours
The club's officials believe that the team's errors are largely due to Erik ten Hag's decisions. The way he prepares matches, his tactical approaches, and managing leads on the scoreboard have been heavily criticized within the organization.
The problem extends beyond results. A climate of distrust towards Erik ten Hag also prevails in the dressing room. Several players have expressed their discontent with the training methods and the way the coach organizes training sessions.

Internal tensions have further weakened Erik ten Hag's position. What was supposed to be a continuity project has turned into a scenario of uncertainty where the coach no longer seems to have the necessary support to turn the situation around.
The newspaper BILD reported that the decision to remove Erik ten Hag is practically made. According to this information, Bayer Leverkusen could announce the dismissal of the Dutch coach in a matter of hours, as he has not been able to solidify his style of play at the beginning of the season.
The contrast with last season is striking. Erik ten Hag had been chosen by the board as a prestigious bet, relying on his experience at top-level benches. However, his time in Leverkusen is on the brink of ending abruptly.
The Bundesliga has just started, but Bayer Leverkusen does not want to jeopardize the rest of the season. There is a belief that Erik ten Hag does not convey the necessary authority and confidence to steer a team that aims to be among the best in the German championship.
The anticipation is high regarding the final decision. Erik ten Hag could soon be without a bench at Bayer Leverkusen, confirming that his adventure in Germany has barely lasted a moment and leaving the question open as to who will take charge of the project.
