🇩🇪 New Bundesliga boss, Carles Martínez takes over at Leverkusen | OneFootball

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have officially announced the appointment of Carles Martínez Novell as their new head coach. The 42-year-old Spanish manager arrives at the German club after ending his spell with Ligue 1 side FC Toulouse, where he enjoyed a notable campaign by guiding the team to ninth place in the French league.

Martínez Novell will sign a contract tying him to the German club until 30 June 2028. The Catalan coach will officially take charge of the first team on 1 July 2026, the date on which the club’s new sporting project will begin.

This managerial change in the Bundesliga comes after the departure of Kasper Hjulmand. The Danish coach leaves Bayer Leverkusen after having led the team for just one season.

With this appointment, Leverkusen are placing their trust in the talent and potential of Spanish football to lead the squad over the next two campaigns. The new coach is expected to bring the dynamism and competitive approach he already showed in French football.
