Erik ten Hag has been appointed as the new head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, the Bundesliga club have announced.
The former Manchester United manager has signed a contract running until 30 June 2027 to take charge of the team following the departure of Xabi Alonso, who was confirmed as the new Real Madrid boss on Sunday.
Ten Hag was in charge of Ajax before taking over at United in April 2022 and during his time at Old Trafford he won the League Cup in 2023 and FA Cup in 2024.
However, a poor start to the 2024/25 season saw him sacked at the end of October.
