Bayer Leverkusen has taken an unexpected turn at the start of the Bundesliga by firing Erik ten Hag. Just two matchdays were enough for the German club to decide to make a fresh start after a disappointing beginning.

Bayer Leverkusen suffered a home defeat in their debut against Hoffenheim and let a clear victory slip against Werder Bremen, who played with ten men and still managed to draw level from a 1-3 disadvantage. A lethal combination for the Dutch coach.

Faced with this urgent situation, Bayer Leverkusen has begun the search for a new coach to restore calm. The club has already received a rejection from Xavi Hernández, who was the main candidate to lead this new project.

After ruling out the former Barcelona coach, Bayer Leverkusen has now focused all its efforts on convincing Edin Terzic. The Bosnian-German coach is the favorite to take charge of a team in need of immediate leadership.

Bayer Leverkusen sees Terzic as a coach capable of handling pressure and building a competitive team. His main credential was his time at Borussia Dortmund, where he led the team to the Champions League final.

Bayer Leverkusen also values Terzic's ability to get the best out of young and talented squads. In Dortmund, he came close to winning the Bundesliga, but his chances were ruined on the final matchday with a dramatic draw against Mainz.

Bayer Leverkusen understands that Terzic has been without a team for a year, but the board is not concerned. In fact, they believe he has had enough time to reflect and come up with fresh ideas for a squad in need of a new approach.

In their sports planning, Bayer Leverkusen is looking for a coach with recent experience in major European stages. Terzic fits that profile and, moreover, he has a deep knowledge of the Bundesliga, a factor that weighs in his favor.

Bayer Leverkusen hopes to close the deal as soon as possible. With the season just beginning, the aim is for the new coach to take the reins in the next matchday and start making his mark from day one.

Bayer Leverkusen, without officially confirming Terzic yet, is moving discreetly but decisively. They know there is no time to waste and that the project cannot afford another year of disappointments after a start that has already left scars.
