Eric Tenhog two games by Leverkusen out. Why have they done it? It was funny because the sporting director uh Simon Ralph who used to play for them of course he spoke about it at lunchtime today gave a press conference. Uh Eric Tenhogs had his social media retor and maybe we’ll get to that in a a little minute but um Ralph has said look I I made a mistake but it would have made it a worse mistake if I hadn’t have done anything about it. Now, of course, you go back to him taking over in July when he wasn’t the first choice. They thought they had Ces Fabregas. They didn’t um because Ko wouldn’t let him go and um Fabregas wasn’t prepared to go to war with them, of course, as a part shareholder. Uh and so they ended up a couple of choices down the line with Tenhog and it felt like quite a good placeholder. He’s got a good reputation in in in Germany. But from the off there were misgivings. I mean what about 2 weeks in they went on this promotional tour of Brazil and lost 5-1 to the Flamingo under 20s and uh then he said after that well no one’s bothered about the results of preseason games are they? Everyone’s a little bit on edge and then from there of course lots of people who are defending Tenhog will understandably say of course they’ve sold a lot of players even before Hinapio they’d sold over 200 million euros worth of players this summer. So, it’s a real sea change. But one of the the key players going was Granite Jakra, of course, who was the the chief lieutenant of on pitch of Jabi Alonzo, but that they felt that he didn’t really make much sense in a post Jabi Lonzo world. They could get out from under the rest of his expensive contract, make some money with him. And the CEO, Fernando Cattle, and Ralph as the sporting director, they sign this off with Tenhog. And then Tenhog goes public and says, “I don’t think we should tell him.” I’m pretty sure that’s not the conversation we had two days ago. And this was one of a series of things that really set them on edge. And then you could tell in the first couple of games, not only were the performances poor, not only did the team look really untrained, but it was the fact that Mark Flecken, who of course has just joined from from Brenford after the first game where they lost at home to Hoffenheim, he was happy to like tear the team’s performance to bits in front of journalists. You’re like, well, if Tenhog really had authority here, that wouldn’t happen. You had an argument over who was taking a penalty at the at the weekend and the captain had to step in. Tenhog moaned about that in the press conference afterwards. So, he’s contributed quite a lot to his own downfall as well. Andy, we’ve got about 15 seconds. Can you tell us what how Tenhog reacted to his sacking? Um, he said it was all Everkus’s fault basically. He said he didn’t felt feel backed by the club and everyone who’s ever stuck with him has won a trophy at the end of the season. Spoiler alert, if they’d have stuck with him, they wouldn’t have.

Sky sports, sad, sad, SAD group of "journos…."
ETH is alright he just needs a season to build a team. Clubs dont have the time. They need performance asap.
Good decision
"You may leave the manchester united but the manchester united cant leave you" ahh coach
I THOUGHT THE NAME NEVERKUSEN WAS DEAD AND BURIED BUT APPARENTLY, IT WOULD RISE SOON AGAIN
One of the few people to have left Man U and not flourished
How much has this cost them?
I thought for a second I was in the gossip girls channel.
The commentator was pretty smug. Ten Hag won trophies at almost all the clubs he coached at.
His record at Leverkusen was one win, one draw and one loss.
To me- if you hire a coach do your homework first.
No Ronaldo to blame yeah. No one will really remember ETH in a few years but Ronaldo will remain eternal
Honestly these pundits are clowns. makeing fun of a guy who has achieved more than any of them can ever do as a manager. why a manager would be happy if the board keeps selling most of the first team starters ? and they are mocking him for not getting results in first 2 games ? you clearly don't have any ball knowledge if you say this stupid stuff. Yes he failed at united but he is right that he won 2 trophies. if it was arteta they would have lauded his progress and blah blah, but the fact is he has done nothing in last 5 years at arsenal and is still praised. These guys were never respectful to ETH even when he was at United.
People always joke about how lawyers have a reserved place in hell but sky pundits will also have a special place there too
Karma ..😂
You know why man UTD and erik ten hag are cursed. Because they showed no empathy and compassion to Cristiano when he lost his new born child. KARMA comes around
Remember. Ten Hag was the best manager for United after Sir Alex
Schwach, unanständig, zum Kotzen…
The biggest highlight of his managerial career was fooling everyone to think ronaldo was the issue… now everyone sees him for the trash coach he is
Smartest decision theyve EVER made
Worst manager I've ever seen in my lifetime, tactics, speaking, his talent spotting is atrocious we nearly lost amad because he preferred Antony
ETH has a very cold personality. Probably ok on the grass but seems very wooden when speaking and little charisma to relate to players.
Yeah this is just the board trying to cover their own ass. Two games is just stupid, you can't do that.
BECAUSE HE ONLY PLAYED PLAYERS THROUGH THE S.E.G AGENCY. THERE IS THE REAL ANSWER. The Leverkusen board caught win of the corruption early.
Can United learn by this? A manager does a bad job and he gets fired… Even Ronaldo got a better chance..
Harsh on ETH this – shathouse club
What a record 2 games in bundesliga.
😂😂😂
Erik Ten Hag ❎
Erik Price Tag ✅
the same guy that sign hojlund ……
I get all the stuff people have said about this.
HOWEVER…..Leverkusen did INTERVIEW HIM, you imagine ?
What sort of questions did they ask ?
HOW did he answer them ?
WHAT did he ask for ?
WERE early signs missed, like " I'm in charge…I decide everything," go unnoticed ?
I wasn't a ten Haag fan when we had him, but I cant help but feel sorry for him now and the way Leverkusen has talked about him, when THEY dont come out of it smelling of Roses, either ? 🤔🤨
Coach do no have any issue when the Manager of team sold the pro players.
I’m a united fan, i didn’t want ten hag sacked, but more to the point it wasn’t about ten hag it was about starting the manager cycle again, he’s a half decent manager but needs time were ever he goes. Bayer leverkusen have just lost respect from myself for this what a joke, he’ll be happy thought nice pay out for a couple weeks work haha. Hope whoever takes him next gives the man time.
He's too bald.
