Erik ten Hag, former Manchester United manager, has been appointed as Bayer Leverkusen's new head coach.
Ten Hag signed a contract until June 30, 2027, replacing Xabi Alonso, who moved to Real Madrid.
At Manchester United, Ten Hag won the League Cup and FA Cup but was sacked after a poor start to the 2024/25 season.
Ten Hag aims to build on Leverkusen's recent success and compete for top honors in the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and Champions League.
He previously managed Ajax, winning three Eredivisie titles, and has experience at other clubs like Go Ahead Eagles, Bayern Munich II, and Utrecht.
