When the Bundesliga-winning coach moved for Real Madrid in May, he was named Xabi Alonso’s replacement.
After Leverkusen and Werder Bremen drew 3–3 on Saturday, the former Manchester United manager was fired on Monday morning.
Leverkusen gave up two late goals, including an equalizer in the 94th minute, even though Niklas Stark was sent off for Bremen in the second half.
Despite gaining an early lead thanks to a goal from Jarell Quansah, the previous champions also lost their opening match 2-1 at home against Hoffenheim.
