Ten Hag has been out of work since he was sacked by Manchester United in October last year, but has landed a top job and will lead Leverkusen in the Champions League next season.

The Dutchman has signed a contract through to 2027, ending Leverkusen’s search for a new manager after Alonso left to club to take charge at Real Madrid.

Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, crucial to Leverkusen’s success over the last two seasons, are both set to complete moves to Liverpool.
