Ten Hag had been out of work since leaving Manchester United in October.

Several clubs - including his beloved Ajax - reportedly approached him during his seven-month hiatus.

But the 55-year-old has now committed to Bayer Leverkusen.

The former United manager last week signed a two-year deal with Bayer, keeping him at the club until June 2027.
