Tenghach s "carrying goods" overturned: The depraved farce from a master of tactics to a kickback coach
2:18am, 4 September 2025Football
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat" This thousand-year-old ancient saying is fulfilled again on the green field. In September 2025, Bundesliga powerhouse Leverkusen used a dismissal order to push Dutch coach Tenghach to the forefront - this "tactical master" who once caused Manchester United to spend 650 million pounds of transfer fees was actually kicked out after leading the team for only 63 days and playing 3 games. What's more dramatic is that the shocking news released by the German "Cologne Daily" turned this "lightning out" into a football annual drama: Teng Hach was accused of frequently recommending players under his agency SEG to the club during his coaching period, and even blatantly violating the agreement to interfere in the lineup planning, turning the coach's seat into a "live broadcast room for goods".
From "Tactic Master" to "Kickback Coach": Tenghach's depraved trajectory
Time goes back to July 1, 2025. When Tenghach took over Leverkusen's coaching stick, the German media still had high hopes for him. The 62-year-old coach once led Ajax to the semi-finals of the Champions League and even set off a "youth storm" at Manchester United. But no one expected that this "tactical magician" exposed his fatal shortcomings as soon as he took office. During the training camp in Brazil, the team's training quality was outrageously low, and the players complained that "even the basic pass and catch cooperation could not be understood"; what was even more outrageous is that Teng Hach had no enthusiasm for team building, often remained silent at internal meetings, and was even more shady during public relations activities, like a "puppet".
But what really triggered the contradiction was Tenghach's "crazy selling of goods" to the transfer market. According to the Cologne Daily, the old coach submitted a "shopping list" to the senior management as soon as he arrived at Leverkusen, all of which were SEG's players: from Liverpool's Garkepo to Hoylen of Naples, and even the goalkeeper position had to introduce his own company's Fleken. What's even more excessive is that when the club clearly stated that it would sell the midfield core Zhaka, Tenghah actually publicly opposed it at a press conference: "Zhaka is a team's non-sale product!" This openly slapping the senior management completely angered Leverkusen's management.
Mr. United's old story is reiterated: The lesson learned from the 16 million euro severance fee
Leverkusen's experience has made Manchester United fans dream of 2024 instantly. At that time, when Teng Hach had just taken over the Red Devils, he caused a bloody storm in the transfer market on the grounds of "rebuilding the lineup": signing Anthony with 95 million euros, winning Hoylen with 75 million euros, and loaning Amrabat with 10 million euros... Behind these sky-high transactions, SEG brokerage companies are all standing. What is even more intriguing is that Teng Hach's son is the company's chief analyst, and his agent Keith Voss is the boss of SEG - this is not a signing, it is clearly a business story of "the whole family mobilization"!
"The wool comes from the sheep" is fully reflected in Manchester United. According to statistics from the Times, during the coaching period, Manchester United paid a total transfer fee for SEG players as high as 320 million pounds, of which Anthony's actual value was less than 40 million euros, and Hoylen's transfer fee was twice his market value. What's even more ironic is that these "sky-high-priced gentlemen" collectively were not adapted to the local conditions at Old Trafford: Anthony scored less than double goals for two consecutive seasons, Hoylen missed half of the games due to injury, and Amrabat was loaned back to Serie A. Manchester United fans laughed at themselves: "What we bought is not the players, but the annual financial report of SEG! "
When Leverkusen ended Tenhach with "lightning", Manchester United management was probably in shame - they not only paid 16 million euros of severance for this "kickback coach", but also renewed their contract until 2027 in the summer of 2025. Now it seems that this is not a contract extension, it is clearly a "gold medal for exemption from crime"!
The German "scalpel": The strict governance of the army finally breaks the mystery of interests
In sharp contrast with Manchester United's "silly people and more money" is Leverkusen's "cuts the mess with quick knife". When it was discovered that Tenghach was trying to turn the Bundesliga into a "SEG Player Fair", the German immediately activated the accountability mechanism: Sports Director Rollfies slapped the table at an internal meeting and scolded: "What we want is a coach, not a sales representative!" The club even hired a professional audit team to investigate whether there was a transfer of interest in each transfer recommended by Tenghach.
"The German rigor gave the world a vivid lesson this time. " The comments of "Photo" came to the forefront. While other leagues are still arguing over "the coach's power is too great", the Bundesliga clubs prove with practical actions that any attempt to put personal interests above the team will be kicked out of the game.
Football Anti-corruption Apocalypse: When "kickbacks" become an open secret, Tenghach's farce tear opens the fig leaf of the football transfer market. According to FIFA's 2024 report, in global professional football transfers, the commission rate of brokerage companies is as high as 15%-20%, including gray operations such as "yin and yang contracts" and "kickbacks and share". What's even more terrifying is that this unspoken rule has formed a complete industrial chain: from youth training camps to five major leagues, from players to coaches, countless people have a share of this feast of interests.
"No snowflake is innocent during an avalanche. "When we are mocking Tenghach's greed, should we also reflect on: What makes a wealthy family like Manchester United be "snatchers"? What makes a player transfer a "decision-making company" deal? Perhaps as former England coach Eriksen said: "When football becomes business, it is purely dead. "
Now, Leverkusen's "lightning out" has become a benchmark case for anti-corruption in football. But the thoughts left to us by this storm are far from over: Who will be the next Tenhah? Which club will repeat Manchester United's mistakes? When the smell of money permeates the green field, can we still see pure football? These questions may need to be answered by actions in the entire football world - after all, what fans want is never a "kickback coach", but a "football poet" who can bring victory and passion.
