Leverkusen looking for a coach: Hjulmand as favorite for ten Hags!
Bayer Leverkusen is about to take a groundbreaking step in the current season. After the surprising dismissal of Erik ten Hag after just three competitive games, the club is now looking for a new coach. This decision should be made by Tuesday or Wednesday in order to involve the new coach in the preparation for the upcoming home game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday at 8.30 p.m. [Image] reports that club boss Fernando Carro attaches great importance to leadership and clarity in order to lead the team out of the current critical situation.
The focus of the club's management is currently Kasper Hjulmand. The Dane, who has been without a club since resigning as national coach in the summer of 2024, brings valuable experience with him. Not only has he managed 54 international matches, but he has also taken part in three major tournaments, including the 2021 European Championship semi-finals and the 2022 World Cup. His successful time as master coach with FC Nordsjælland in 2012 underlines his credentials. His language skills – perfect English and German – are also an advantage for communication in the Bayer cabin. This variety of qualities makes Hjulmand a clear favorite for the coaching position, as [LIGAbinsider] also highlights.
Hjulmand's strengths and experience
Particularly noteworthy is Hjulmand's preference for a 3-4-2-1 system, which could be an ideal fit for Leverkusen's players. His experience in the Bundesliga, which he gained in the 2014/15 season with 1. FSV Mainz 05, brings additional weight to the discussion. Together with his clear statements, he has a reputation as an empathetic coach, which could be enormously important in Leverkusen's current situation. Under ten Hag, the mood in the team was anything but rosy - perhaps Hjulmand could bring a breath of fresh air here. If Hjulmand's efforts prove successful, he would not only be a new coach but also an advisor to a team looking for direction.
While Hjulmand is in the foreground, Rogier Meijer could temporarily sit on the bench as head coach against Frankfurt to lead the team during this transition period. Other potential candidates such as Ange Postecoglou and Thiago Motta appear to be out of the running, further increasing the focus on Hjulmand.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen is challenged; A quick decision is necessary in order to make the most of the coming week of training and get the team on track. Fans and those responsible are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of the new coach. Further information on coaching changes in the Bundesliga is available on [Transfermarkt].
