Leverkusen reached an agreement with Vázquez on 24 August, who came across as transfer -free from Real Madrid. A day later the medical inspection followed and on 26 August the 34-year-old wing defender was presented with a contract until mid-2027. On the same day, Ten Hag only spoke with the newcomer for the first time, who won the Champions League five times with Real Madrid.

That Ten Hag was not involved in the arrival of Vázquez, sees BILD As a clear signal that the Dutchman had lost his grip on the club. The newspaper writes that at that time Ten Hag itself also realized that his days were counted. Six days later, on 1 September, he was put aside by the club management after just two league matches.
Simon Rolfes Hard over Erik Ten Hag
Sporting director Simon Rolfes was hard in his opinion about the collaboration. He even called Ten Hag’s appointment afterwards even the biggest mistake in his career as director. The contrast was great: while Rolfes Vázquez explained the sporting plans in video calls, the coach himself was completely kept out of decision -making.
In addition to the sporty blemish, the Leverkusen adventure also cost a lot of money. According to BILD Ten Hag on a total of around six million euros for its two months in Germany. Converted, that amounts to nearly one hundred thousand euros per working day.
