"Erik ten Hag's 62-day reign as manager of Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen ranks as one of the shortest managerial stints in modern football. The former Manchester United boss oversaw just three competitive matches with Leverkusen - winning one game, losing in his second, and drawing his final game. Following his departure, Leverkusen manager director Simon Rolfes said: "Building a new and successful team with this set-up is not feasible.""
"Only one permanent Premier League manager has had a shorter permanent spell in charge of a club than Ten Hag's stay in Germany. Les Reed's 40 days in charge of Charlton across November and December 2006 was the shortest. Reed picked up four points from his seven league matches. Outside of the top-flight, there have been even shorter managerial spells. In 2007, Leroy Rosenior spent 10 minutes in charge of Torquay United."
Erik ten Hag served 62 days as Bayer Leverkusen manager, overseeing three competitive matches: one win, one loss, and one draw. Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes said: "Building a new and successful team with this set-up is not feasible." Only one permanent Premier League manager had a shorter spell: Les Reed lasted 40 days at Charlton in November–December 2006, earning four points from seven league matches. Shorter non-league or lower-league stints include Leroy Rosenior's 10-minute tenure at Torquay in 2007 after a takeover, Dave Bassett's four-day reversal in 1984, and Martin Ling's eight-day spell at Cambridge United in 2009.
