Super Eagles midfielder Nathan Tella has expressed his confidence in Eric Ten Hag’s ability to succeed as Bayer Leverkusen’s new head coach, BSNSports.com.ng reports 

The Dutch manager was recently appointed to take over from Xabi Alonso, who left the club to join Real Madrid.

“I’m really looking forward to playing under Ten Hag. I think he’s a fantastic manager,” Tella told Flashscore. “People often focus only on his time at Manchester United, but they forget he won two trophies there and had great success at Ajax.”

Tella emphasized that earning the Manchester United job itself was a testament to Ten Hag's coaching quality.

“Even if things didn’t go exactly as fans hoped at United, the fact that he’s been chosen to replace someone like Alonso at Leverkusen says a lot about his pedigree,” he added.
