Leverkusen welcomes Dane Hjulmand as their new coach
Kasper Hjulmand Set to Take Over Bayer Leverkusen
After a successful stint as the Danish national football team's head coach, Kasper Hjulmand is poised to make a move to the Bundesliga, with reports suggesting that he will take over at Bayer Leverkusen.
According to media reports, Hjulmand is expected to sign a contract with the German club in the coming days. This comes after the departure of Erik ten Hag, who was let go from Bayer Leverkusen at the beginning of September.
Hjulmand's tenure as national coach of Denmark ended with a defeat against Germany in the 2024 European Championship round of 16. However, he caused a sensation at the 2021 European Championship, where they lost to England in the semi-finals.
The Danish coach has experience coaching at both the club and national level. He has had both success and failure in his coaching career, having been let go from Mainz after just three-quarters of a year. However, he led Denmark to a semi-final appearance at the 2021 European Championship.
Hjulmand has experience in the Bundesliga, having previously worked as head coach for Mainz. Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, suffered a defeat in their Bundesliga opener against Hoffenheim and a draw in Bremen under Erik ten Hag.
It is expected that Hjulmand will oversee a major restructuring of Bayer Leverkusen following the departure of key players such as Florian Wirtz, Jonathan Tah, or Granit Xhaka.
The assistant coaching team led by Dutchmen Rogier Meijer and Andries Ulderink had taken over the training of Bayer Leverkusen in the meantime. However, it appears that Hjulmand will now take the reins of the German club.
The news of Hjulmand becoming the new head coach of Bayer Leverkusen was first reported by "Kicker". It remains to be seen how he will fare in the Bundesliga, but fans of the club will be eagerly awaiting his arrival.
It is worth noting that the specific name of Hjulmand’s predecessor as Denmark's national coach is not mentioned in the search results. Erik ten Hag took over Bayer Leverkusen on July 1st as the successor to head coach Xabi Alonso. There were reportedly personal issues between Erik ten Hag and the players, as well as Bayer's functionaries.
In conclusion, Kasper Hjulmand is set to become the new head coach of Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. He has had a mixed coaching career, but his success with the Danish national team has caught the attention of the German club. Fans will be eager to see how he performs in the Bundesliga and if he can help Bayer Leverkusen return to their former glory.
