The summer transfer window of 2025 has come to an end, but the controversy surrounding Tenghach is far from over. In just 308 days, the get out of class was dismissed twice, and the Dutch coach once again became the center of the whirlpool of public opinion. Compared with the criticisms during the Manchester United period, the German media has now revealed a new "insider": Tenghach's tactics are not only questioned, but also involves a gray operation of "taking kickbacks".

In Ajax, he was once praised as a "tactical genius" due to his tacit understanding of the youth training team and team; but now, whether in the Premier League or the Bundesliga, what he left behind is a mess. According to the disclosure of the Cologne Daily, Tenghach encountered doubts from management and players early during the summer training camp in Leverkusen. The quality of training has declined, the tactical thinking is chaotic, and the team atmosphere has become even colder. But the most eye-catching thing is not his coaching problem on the court, but his "small moves" off the court. According to reports, Tenghach violated previous agreements with the club, frequently interfered in the signing matters, and even tried to push Leverkusen to sign players under his agency SEG. In other words, he intends to stuff his own related players into the lineup through the agency channel. Leverkusen's senior executives did not nod, especially after names such as "Anthony" and "Ganacho" were mentioned, management chose to firmly refuse. As a result, Teng Hahe's emotions were out of control and showed signs of "showing up the bad".

What is even more puzzling is that in the first round of the Bundesliga, Tenhach did not make any pre-match mobilization. The atmosphere in the locker room was extremely cold, and the players directly stared at each other. Could this coach be "fake"? After the game, he did not summarize or give a lecture, as if the whole game had nothing to do with him.

Compared with his operations at Manchester United, such behavior is particularly ironic. At that time, he vigorously formed the "Ajax Gang" and forcibly introduced old subordinates such as Onana and Anthony. As a result, not only did not bring about qualitative changes, but instead put the team in a dilemma of being unacceptable to the local environment. The revelations from German media now match his coaching trajectory: taking kickbacks" are not groundless.

At Manchester United, Tenghach once gained considerable power. The loose control of football operations by senior management led to him having a lot of say in signings. As a result, the team not only failed to return to the top, but instead stumbled in chaos. In Leverkusen, this model does not work. Bundesliga clubs have always emphasized that Separation of management and office: the coach focuses on skills and tactics, and the management is responsible for transfers and operations. Teng Hach tried to copy the "Ajax Gang" approach, but immediately touched the bottom line of the senior management. As a result, this cooperation quickly broke down.

Manchester United fans once accused him of "blindly favoring his old subordinates", and now German media labeled him as a "kickback coach". Perhaps only the parties involved know the truth the most. But it is certain that Teng Hach's successive failures in the two giants are by no means accidental. The football world has never lacked stories, and Teng Hach's story is undoubtedly the most controversial protagonist in this summer window.
