Super Eagles winger Nathan Tella has expressed confidence that new Bayer Leverkusen manager Erik ten Hag can guide the club to further success.
Ten Hag took over the German side after establishing a reputation during his managerial career for building competitive teams and challenging for major honours.
Tella believes the Dutch coach has the qualities needed to help Leverkusen continue their progress and remain among the leading teams in German football.
Softfootball reports that Tella will be hoping to play an important role under the new manager after establishing himself as part of Leverkusen’s squad.
The Nigerian winger has shown his versatility and attacking ability during his time in Germany, giving the new coach another option in the final third.
Leverkusen enjoyed a strong period under their previous management and will now be aiming to maintain their competitive standards while adapting to Ten Hag’s methods.
Tella believes the change can bring fresh motivation to the squad and help the club compete for more silverware.
The former Manchester United manager will face pressure to deliver results, particularly after Leverkusen’s recent success raised expectations among supporters.
For Tella, the opportunity to work under Ten Hag could also provide another important stage in his development.
The winger will now hope to impress the new coach during pre-season and earn a prominent role in Leverkusen’s plans.
