"Still, FC Hollywood was not the source of the most shocking piece of news after the second gameweek of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season. That was Bayer Leverkusen's dismissal of their now former head coach Erik Ten Hag, which became the earliest dismissal in the history of the Bundesliga. This came off the back of making over a dozen signings this summer and losing some of the most important players in the team."
"Hoeneß is not one to hold back when discussing Bayern's rivals (recall his iconic "second place is sealed" quote in response to Borussia Dortmund's well received 2022 transfer window) but he did not muster up that energy for Leverkusen when asked about it during Sport1's Doppelpass. "They changed half the team over the summer. I have to say I was surprised they dismissed the coach after two matchdays," Hoeneß said instead, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "They might have had to consider that well.""
Bayer Leverkusen dismissed head coach Erik Ten Hag after two Bundesliga matchdays, marking the earliest dismissal in Bundesliga history. The sacking followed a summer in which the club made over a dozen signings and lost several key players. Uli Hoeneß expressed surprise at the swift decision and noted Leverkusen changed half the team over the summer, suggesting the club should have considered the implications. Ten Hag previously coached Bayern's U-23s and worked alongside Josep Guardiola. Bayern Munich returns to Bundesliga action after an international break and prepares to host Hamburger SV at the Allianz Arena under Vincent Kompany. Key focal points include Hamburger SV threats, Bayern's injury situation, and Kompany's likely starting XI choices.
