Bayer Leverkusen, the runner-up in the 2024-2025 season, is speeding up the decision to appoint former Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag to replace Xavi Alonso.
As European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano admitted the fact through recent reports, his appointment is likely.
On the 23rd (Korea time), Romano said on his social network service, "Bayel Leverkusen had direct contact with Erik ten Hach this week," adding, "The Dutch coach is considering Leverkusen's manager position as his top priority and is ready to accept the offer."
"Negotiations are currently underway, and Leverkusen has already made progress in negotiations with Ten Hag," he added.
According to Romano, Ten Hag recently conveyed his full intentions through direct talks with Leverkusen, which is seen as a major opportunity for Leverkusen to take a step ahead of the next head coach's appointment.
Ten Hach has been a free agent since he was dismissed from Manchester United at the end of last year due to poor performance.
Although he has led United and harvested two trophies in the last two seasons, lifting the Carabao Cup and FA Cup championship trophies, he has withdrawn under the club's decision due to a slump earlier this season.
Leverkusen achieved a historic unbeaten victory in the German Bundesliga in the 2023-2024 season, but this season they fell behind in the competition to win the championship and finished 13 points behind Bayern Munich.
In addition, Alonso will move to Real Madrid after the end of the season, and Leverkusen is focusing on appointing a successor.
Of course, Tenhach is not the only candidate.
According to the German leading magazine Sky Sports, Leverkusen is mulling Cesc Fabregas Como, who played as the best technician at Arsenal and Barcelona in the past, as the next coach candidate.
"Leverkusen is working with Fabregas," said Florian Flettenberg, a leading journalist with the media. "If the negotiations fail, Tenhach is selected as a clear alternative."
"Tenhach has already clearly communicated his command intentions to Leverkusen," he said.
Fabregas is currently the manager of Italian Serie A club Como 1907, and he has reportedly expressed his desire to stay at the club's leadership during the season, but has recently expressed his desire to leave Como.
RB Leipzig, as well as Leverkusen, are also known to be interested in Fabregas.
Leverkusen's appointment as the next coach is considered a major task to inherit Alonso's successful legacy.
Alonso is the man who stopped Munich's dominance last season and led Leverkusen to its first league championship since its foundation, and his departure is expected to serve as a huge void for the club.
If Ten Hag takes the helm of Leverkusen, this will be a meaningful resume of his return to the Bundesliga based on his history of being on the German stage as Bayern Munich's second-team coach from 2013 to 2015.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, where Ten Hach left, has rarely succeeded in rebounding under coach Huven Amorim.
Ten Hag's evaluation is also being re-examined at a time when criticism has been mounting over his recent shock defeat in the Europa League final. 바카라사이트
The announcement of the appointment of Leverkusen's next coach is likely to be announced shortly after Alonso's official appointment.
Soccer circles are paying attention to who will finally take the new baton of Leverkusen, Ten Hach or Fabregas.
