Bayer Leverkusen Evet Xabi Alonso the way to leave the club for Real Madrid, and reported the discussions on the appointment of Erik Ten HAG as his successor at the BayArena as “very advanced”.
The process should enable Leverkusen, which fell from Bayern Munich this season and can at the same time maintain second place, and a smooth transition from one era to another.
At the end of April, Germany emerged that ex-chachesters United boss Erik Ten HAG was identified as the main goal of Leverkusen.
Now, Kicker writes that Alonso’s future is “practically defined” with increasing signs of the club that quickly progresses in Leverkusen to secure a replacement. A contract with TEN HAG is striving to conclude “if not already agreed”.
Ten HAG has taken a seven -month break of professional football since his release by Manchester United at the end of October. The Dutch paid the prize for a bad start to the season, although the successor Ruben Amorim has had similar difficulties in the achievement of consistent results.
But ten HAG still won two trophy-one EFL Cup and FA Cup-in his two full seasons, which made him one of only six managers in the club’s 147-year history in order to deliver more than once.
The 55-year-old had previously made a name for himself during a very successful magic with Ajax, where he won three Eredivii titles, two Dutch trophies and reached 2019 within a kick of the Champion League final after removing Real Madrid and Juventus on the way to the last four elements.
German football is not new for ten HAG. After a decade in which he deserved his coaching strips on Academy and then as an assistant, a short but successful spell in GO ahead.
The Bavarian State League team won the team of Ten Hag for two years in Munich before returning with the former Club Utrecht in his homeland in the Netherlands Top -Flight football.
