# Soccer: Bayer Leverkusen have sacked manager Erik ten Hag after just two Bundesliga matches in charge. Fired by Manchester United last October, Ten Hag signed a contract until 2027 in May, taking over as the successor to Xabi Alonso, who moved to Real Madrid. Club CEO Fernando Carro said the decision was “painful, but necessary”. The 55-year-old Dutchman now has the unwanted record of breaking the previous mark for a coach of five matches before being fired.
