Erik ten Hag has been hired by Bayer Leverkusen as manager to replace Xabi Alonso. Ten Hag was fired by Manchester United in October.
Before joining United, Ten Hag won three Eredivisie titles with Ajax and led the team to a Champions League semifinal in 2018-19. He has coached in Germany before, having managed Bayern Munich II from 2013 to 2015.
\"With Erik ten Hag we have brought in an experienced coach with impressive success on the pitch. His six title wins at Ajax were exceptional,\" Leverkusen\'s sporting managing director Simon Rolfes said in a statement.
\"With three league titles and two domestic cup wins he and Ajax dominated Dutch football from 2018 to 2022. And Erik demonstrated his quality as a coach with the ensuing success at Manchester United under difficult circumstances at times.\"
