Restricting Access to Manager users - Laravel 5.5 - php

Question

I am a newbie with Laravel. I am doing a tutorial and i have issues on restricting access to manager users. I have been able to assign roles (manager and members) to my users at the moment. But my issue lies in the Manager Middleware.
If the user is a manager, it doesn't return the $next($request); but instead it routes to /home after authentication and if user isn't a manager, it routes to /home as well instead of /tickets.
There is a file called RedirectIfAuthenticated, i changed the route in there but the issue still remained the same.
So what am i missing to restrict access to my managers?
Manager middleware
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if(!Auth::check())
{
return redirect('/login');
}
else{
$user = Auth::user();
if($user->hasRole('Manager'))
{
return $next($request);
}
else{
redirect('/tickets');
}
}
return $next($request);
}
Routes
Route::group(array('prefix' => 'admin', 'namespace' => 'Admin', 'middleware' =>'manager'), function () {
Route::get('users', 'UsersController#index');
Route::get('users/{id?}/edit', 'UsersController#edit');
Route::post('users/{id?}/edit','UsersController#update');
Route::get('roles', 'RolesController#index');
Route::get('roles/create', 'RolesController#create');
Route::post('roles/create', 'RolesController#store');
});

Just do the following:
in the else part: instead of redirect('/tickets'); use return redirect('/tickets');
i.e. it will become:
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if(!Auth::check())
{
return redirect('/login');
}
else{
$user = Auth::user();
if($user->hasRole('Manager'))
{
return $next($request);
}
else{
return redirect('/tickets');
}
}
return $next($request);
}
That's it
