Danish coach brings trophy-winning expertise to Leverkusen, as he replaces Erik Ten Hag after his surprising departure

Bayer Leverkusen have strengthened their squad by appointing Kasper Hjulmand as the new coach until 2027. The former Denmark manager signed a three-year contract, hoping to bring his successful expertise to the Bundesliga. This comes as a surprise, as this year Erik ten Hag left the club after just two games, with no explanation for his departure.

Hjulmand previously won the Danish Superliga and Danish Cup with Nordsjaelland and took Denmark to the semi-finals of the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.

He now faces the task of maintaining Bayer Leverkusen's position among the top four in the Bundesliga, in addition to winning silverware in the DFB-Pokal and the UEFA Champions League.

There is little time for Hjulmand to settle in, with his first game in charge against Augsburg on Friday.

Hjulmand expressed his delight at joining Leverkusen, stating, "I am very much looking forward to the challenge at Bayer Leverkusen. It is a club that wants to continue to develop. I was convinced by the ambitious plans and visions of the club leadership."

With Hjulmand's impressive track record, he looks to bring his winning mentality to Leverkusen and continue the club's success in the coming years.

Go!
