Leverkusen CEO Defends Rapid Ten Hag Dismissal as Hiring Error

Fernando Carro describes the swift change as a necessary correction after a misjudged appointment.

Overview

  • Carro said the club corrected a mistake in hiring Erik ten Hag, noting the coach's qualities but saying the timing was wrong.
  • Bayer Leverkusen parted with ten Hag after just two Bundesliga matches, one of the earliest coaching changes in league history.
  • Danish coach Kasper Hjulmand was appointed as successor earlier this week.
  • Hjulmand oversaw a 3:1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt, delivering Leverkusen's first league victory of the season.
  • Carro said the decision was handled professionally after thorough pre-hiring research and expressed frustration over five points dropped in the opening two matchdays.
