Bayer Leverkusen have sacked head coach Erik ten Hag after just three matches in charge. Ten Hag replaced Xabi Alonso as head coach in May and signed a two-year-contract. But Ten Hag's stay at Leverkusen has been brief after a poor start to the 2025-26 season. Leverkusen lost their season opener against TSG Hoffenheim at home and then drew 3-3 with Werder Bremen at the weekend. They won their DFB-Pokal first round tie against fourth-tier SG Sonnenhof but since that match on Aug. 15, ex- Manchester United manager Ten Hag's tenure turned sour at the 2024 Bundesliga champions.

After the Dodgers moved back into first place of the National League West with the best record in baseball, aided by the Rockies defeating the Padres, manager Dave Roberts voiced his disappointment with Black being deemed responsible for the team's shortcomings, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today: "I don't think [Hall of Fame manager] Casey Stengel could change the outcome of that ballclub," said Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who was on Black's coaching staff in San Diego, and one of his closest friends. "That's not the manager's fault. Obviously, they felt they needed a change in voice or direction, but for me, there's not many people that are better than Buddy Black. It's very disappointing. It's not his fault."
