Two Argentina players suddenly left without a manager | OneFootball

Clearly, in Germany, they have little patience. Or at least, that's the perception from afar regarding the management of Bayer Leverkusen, which decided to dismiss Erik ten Hag who, although he hadn't started the 2025/2026 season in the best way, had only managed three matches, one in the national cup and two in the Bundesliga.

In the German Cup, they defeated Sonnenhof 4-0 in the First Round, while in the local tournament they lost on the first matchday to Hoffenheim 2-1 and drew 3-3 this Saturday with Werder Bremen, after leading 3-1. However, reports coming from Europe indicate that the results were not the only trigger for his departure.

At least that's what Kicker, Germany's most widely read sports portal, indicated this Monday, September 1st: “The situation around Ten Hag and Bayer Leverkusen is worsening. The coach is facing strong criticism, even internally, and the club publicly refuses to support him. These are clear signs that speak against him.”

The fact is that the team composed of Argentine national team players Exequiel Palacios and Claudio Echeverri (plus former Boca player Equi Fernández, who arrived from the Saudi Pro League but has not yet been presented), will have to look for a new leader, since before the Dutchman, Xabi Alonso was in charge, whom they evidently cannot find a replacement for.

Bayer Leverkusen needs to find a coach during the September FIFA date Bayer Leverkusen has until the September FIFA date to find a new coach, a time presumed ideal to resolve this issue, because upon the return of the national team matches, they will need to focus not only on recovering in the Bundesliga with their match against Frankfurt but also on their Champions League debut, which will be against Copenhagen away.

The League Phase of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League Besides Copenhagen, Bayer Leverkusen, in the League Phase of the Champions League, will have to face: PSV Eindhoven, Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Manchester City, Newcastle, Olympiacos, and Villarreal.
