Leverkusen Trainer Search: Rose in the Frame

After the quick separation from Erik Ten HAG, the coaching search is in full swing at Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The 55-year-old was only signed in the summer, but had to vacate the position after only two months. Now the question arises as to who takes over the Werkelf.

Sports director Simon Rolfes made it clear which profile is being sought: an experienced trainer who brings clarity and leadership at best knows the Bundesliga and has already had success. After SkyIn particular, Bayer has an eye on the market of free trainers.

As a possible candidate, according to one BILD-Proofe Marco Rose traded. The ex-Leipzig coach is still under contract with RB until 2026, but is considered someone who could fit well in Leverkusen. Names like Edin Terzic, Oliver Glasner, Matthias Jaissle or Xavi, however, do not matter.

Until a new coach is presented, the previous assistants Rogier Meijer and Andries Ulderink lead the training and will also be on the sidelines on Wednesday at the friendly against Viktoria Cologne.
