We welcome this strategic shift. Ten Hag’s appointment reflects Leverkusen’s ambition to maintain and accelerate the high bar set by Alonso. It is not a safe choice, but a bold statement of intent.

+
We believe Leverkusen must now commit fully to Ten Hag’s vision. That means reinforcing the squad to suit his style ball playing defenders, dynamic wing-backs, and midfielders comfortable in possession. And it means trusting him through the inevitable growing pains of implementing a new system. +

The true test will be Champions League nights. Competitive European matches will reveal whether Ten Hag’s approach can [withstand elite](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/youth-football/) pressure. But with endorsement and internal support, the groundwork is there for success. +
+
This is not just another managerial shuffle it’s a declaration. Industry and fans alike must now back the vision, brace for adaptation, and prepare for a new era under Ten Hag. +
