The former Manchester United manager, 55, has agreed a contract with Bayer to 2027.

The Dutchman's appointment by Bayer will be confirmed at the beginning of the week. Bayer have turned to Ten Hag after receiving a rejection from Como coach Cesc Fabregas.

Ten Hag was sacked by United before Christmas and his appointment by Bayer marks a return to Germany for the Dutchman, who had a spell as Bayern reserves coach over 105 years ago.
