Erik ten Hag’s time at Bayer Leverkusen has been sacked. 
Appointed as Xabi Alonso’s replacement earlier this summer, Ten Hag has lasted just three games in charge.
He won his opening match in the DFB-Pokal, but Leverkusen then lost their first Bundesliga game to Hoffenheim before most recently drawing 3-3 with 10-man Werder Bremen despite being 3-1 ahead at one stage.
