Erik ten Hag sacked by Bayer Leverkusen after just three matches

Bayer Leverkusen has sacked Erik ten Hag, their newly appointed manager, after just three matches in charge. Ten Hag was brought in to succeed Xabi Alonso, who left for Real Madrid, but the team managed to accumulate only one point from their first two Bundesliga games. The 3-3 draw with Werder Bremen on Saturday, in which Leverkusen conceded two late goals despite being a man up, proved to be the final straw. Leverkusen's chief executive acknowledged that the parting of ways at this stage was "painful", but the decision was made due to the team's poor start to the season.
