According to Sky Sports German reporter Florian Plettenberg, former Manchester United manager Eric Ten Hag is one of the targets to replace Bayern Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso.
The Dutch were fired by Man United this season and replaced by Reuben Amorim.
Since then, Ten Hag has been unemployed and is waiting for the right opportunity to arrive and return to management again.
The former Ajax man struggled to take over the fate of the league club despite winning the League Cup and the FA Cup with Man United.
Eric Ten Hug endured difficult times at Old Trafford
He was given the power to spend a lot of his new signatures at the club, and most of his big money signatures, especially Andre Onana and Antony, failed miserably.
Leverkusen management, led by sports director Simon Rolfs, has evaluated a potential successor among the top candidates with 10 hugs and former Barcelona coach Zabi Hernandez.
The reason Leverkusen is looking for a new manager is because Alonso is being chased by Real Madrid, who is due to lose Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the season.
The former Man United boss has past experience in Germany
Ten Hag, who has been familiar with German football since his tenure as Bayern Munich II coach between 2013 and 2015, has positioned him as a strong candidate.
His proficiency and experience in German and experience in the Bundesliga football culture is why he is one of the top candidates to become Leverkusen’s new manager who won the league title last season.
Despite his overwhelming tenure at Man United, the Dutch manager led AJAX to the Champions League semi-finals and multiple league titles.
While his poor performance at United may have seemed to have scathed his reputation as one of the best young managers in the game, Leverkusen’s interest in his services shows that he is still highly regarded in the game.
Since his departure from United, Ten Hag has been linked to RB Leipzig’s work and Borussia Dortmund’s work.
