Bayer Leverkusen is close to determining the replacement for Xabi Alonso as the team's manager.

According to journalist David Ornstein, from The Athletic portal, Erik ten Hag is close to taking the position.

Journalist Florian Plettenberg, from Germany's Sky Sports, adds that the contract between the club and the coach should last until 2027.

Only minor details remain for the agreement to be made official and announced.

Ten Hag's last job was at Manchester United, where he stayed for just over two years.

His departure from Old Trafford occurred in October of last year, amid a poor start to the season.

Before that, he had a successful four and a half year stint in charge of Ajax.

Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, is looking to replace Xabi Alonso, who helped the club win the Bundesliga and the German Cup last season.

The Spanish coach is expected to be introduced as Real Madrid's coach next Monday (26).
