Erik Ten Hag has been connected to a job at Leverkusen.


Erik ten Hag is one of the managers under consideration to succeed Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen if the Spaniard takes over at Real Madrid.

Alonso has long been connected with the position, and with Carlo Ancelotti poised to take over as Brazil's national team manager, the former Liverpool player appears to be headed for the hot seat at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Ten Hag is now without a club after being released by Manchester United earlier this season despite winning the FA Cup and League Cup during his time in the Premier League, with Sky Sports in Germany linking him to Leverkusen.

The German team is keeping their options open, however Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has also been connected with the post.

With three games remaining, Leverkusen is nearly set to finish second in the Bundesliga this season, trailing a resurgent Bayern Munich.

Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat.
