Erik Ten Hag is experiencing a tough time on the pitch, but his bank account is thriving. Recently fired by Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester United, the Dutch coach has walked away with a hefty sum.
Is Ten Hag the new Mourinho? In just ten months, he has gone from being a tactical genius to a coach facing a series of dismissals. However, like the Special One, he’s cashing in with impressive severance packages, totaling around €28.1M from his exits.
Bayer’s Summer Exodus
Having joined Bayer Leverkusen in July to replace Xabi Alonso, Ten Hag only managed three official matches. After one win, one loss, and one draw, the club decided to part ways. The Dutchman expressed his surprise at being let go after just two league games.
Despite his impressive resume, including three titles with Ajax and two cups with United, Ten Hag’s stint in Germany ended prematurely. This raises questions about the trend of massive severance payments for coaches.
