Erik ten Hag reveals his farewell statement.
Erik ten Hag:
The decision by Bayer Leverkusen’s management this morning to put me on a leave of absence came as a complete surprise. To part ways with a coach after just two league matches is unprecedented.
This summer, many key players who were part of past successes left the squad. Building a new, cohesive team is a careful process that requires both time and trust.
A new coach deserves the space to implement his vision, set the standards, shape the squad and leave his mark on the style of play.
I started this job with full conviction and energy, but unfortunately the management was not willing to grant me the time and trust I needed, which I deeply regret. I feel this was never a relationship based on mutual trust.
Throughout my career, every season I have been able to see through to the end as a coach has brought success. Clubs that placed their trust in me have been rewarded with success and silverware.
Finally, I would like to thank the Bayer Leverkusen supporters for their warmth and passion, and I wish the squad and staff every success for the remainder of the season.

Ten Hag was disgraced the same way he disgraced Ronaldo. Karma is real

You see this sack is total madness!! How can you sack a new coach 2 games inside a new season??? Just 2 league games in charge with new squad members!! What type of magic were they hoping for?? I'm not a fan of Eric Ten Hag but this is absolute rubbish behavior from the management! I hope he collects every penny he was supposed to get for the number of years he signed for initially. Make them pay it all!

This is total madness, after selling all the best players you want him to perform magic under 2 months, almost all the first eleven players left and you guys went and replace them with average unknown players who's still learning their trade, madness at its best

Sacking a manager after Matchday 2, the summer after selling your star players and not giving a decent squad💀 That fluke invincible season really got them thinking they can consistently produce good players.
