Erik ten Hag said that he "never [had] a relationship based on mutual trust" with the Bayer Leverkusen bosses, but the club views it more as a rapid loss of trust in a short period of time, for which EtH must entirely blame himself.

B04 were already disappointed during training camp in Brazil - the quality of training and lack of emotion in team building were met with great surprise.

Whether on the pitch, in internal meetings, or in public relations everywhere, ten Hag left other employees shaking their heads. The doubts intensified in the following weeks.

Ten Hag is described as resistant to advice, repeatedly attempting to interfere in squad planning despite prior agreements, and increasingly suggesting players from "his" agency, SEG.

He also failed to connect with the team and coached without emotion - for example, he didnt even address the team at all before the Bundesliga opener against Hoffenheim and even expressed surprise afterward that the locker room was so quiet. Some players couldnt believe it.

All of this led to ten Hags sacking - even a victory in Bremen wouldnt have saved him, so shocked was the clubs management.
