According to Kicker, there is another candidate who is also high up on the list.
The German media claims that the Leverkusen management has targeted Erik ten Hag. Although his stay at Manchester United was not a huge success for Ten Hag, despite two cup titles, the Dutchman has a good name in German football. First as head coach of Bayern Munich’s second team, then the impressive performances he delivered with Ajax in the Champions League.
Ten Hag speaks German, which is always an advantage in German clubs. Is unemployed, but hungry to get up after the sudden exit from Manchester United last October.
It is not said to have been on the offers after the United exit, but Ten Hag has waited patiently for the right project. Bayer Leverkusen can offer a job at a club that is set up for title fights and performances in the Champions League, so this should tempt the Dutchman.
If he gets the offer.
