The Bayer Leverkusen club wants to have a new coach until next week. The announcement was made on Wednesday by the executive director of the club, Fernando Carro. The post on the Technical Bank became vacant after the “pharmacists” dismissed Erik Ten Hag (55 years) just two months after appointment.
“We hope that on Tuesday we will have someone new to lead the training, but I cannot guarantee this. We work hard for a fast solution, but you know what this industry is. You are not sure until the contract is signed,” said Carro, according to Sport.Aaktuality.sk.
He did not comment on the rumors about the possible arrival of Raul Gonzales, the former striker from Real Madrid and Schalke 04.
Xavi Hernandez, Roger Schmidt and Edin Terzic, on the list of Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer's representatives have already contacted another Spaniard, the former midfielder of Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez. He is free of contract last summer, after the separation of Catalans.
The possible candidates include the former coach of the “pharmacists”, Roger Schmidt, as well as the former technician of Dortmund, Edin Terzič.
During the current competitive break caused by the matches of the national teams, Leverkusen's players are led by the second coach Andries Ucedrink.
Ten Hag was dismissed after the first two stages of the Bundesliga, in which his students obtained a single point, and that after a draw in a match in which they were leading 3-1 in the 75th minute against Werder Bremen, playing in ten people. The Dutch coach quickly lost the locker room's confidence.
