According to sources, ten Hag has agreed to a contract with Bayer that will keep him with the team until 2027. His appointment is expected to be officially confirmed at the start of the week.
Bayer explored other options before deciding on ten Hag, having initially approached Cesc Fabregas, who is currently the coach of Como, but he declined the offer.
ten Hag's return to Germany marks a significant move, as he had previously worked as the coach of Bayern Munich's reserve team many years ago.
