Bayer Leverkusen have officially reached an agreement to appoint Kasper Hjulmand as their new head coach, with the Danish tactician set to take charge within the next 48 hours. The 53-year-old replaces Erik ten Hag, who is set to leave his position, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the Bundesliga champions.
Hjulmand, who has gained recognition for his work with the Denmark national team, guided his country to the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2020 and has built a reputation as a modern, progressive coach. His appointment reflects Leverkusen’s ambition to continue their recent rise in German and European football.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the contract has been sealed, and Hjulmand is expected to lead his first training session within two days before taking charge of Leverkusen’s upcoming match on Friday. The club will be counting on his tactical acumen, adaptability, and experience in nurturing young talents—qualities that align perfectly with Leverkusen’s footballing philosophy.
