Abdoul Karim Koulibaly: Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen have dismissed manager Erik ten Hag after only two matches in charge of the new season, the club announced on Monday.

The Dutchman, who replaced Xabi Alonso in May after the Spaniard was appointed by Real Madrid, leaves the club after presiding over a draw and a defeat in his brief tenure.

"Bayer 04 Leverkusen have parted ways with head coach Erik ten Hag with immediate effect. This decision was made by the shareholders’ committee, the supervisory body of the club, on the recommendation of Bayer 04’s executive management. Training duties will be temporarily handled by the assistant coaching staff," the club said in a satement.
