🚨 Will he last more than 62 days? Bayer find Ten Hag’s successor | OneFootball

Bayer 04 Leverkusen has found a new coach. As the club announced a few minutes ago via 'X', Kasper Hjulmand will take over immediately at the German champion of 2024.

The 53-year-old has been without a team since his resignation as the Danish national coach last summer. Now he is set to follow in the small footsteps of Erik ten Hag at Bayer. The Dutchman was previously dismissed after only 62 days and three official matches. The reason for this, according to Bayer's executives, was insurmountable internal differences between the coach and the management. Will things be better with Hjulmand?

Even before hiring ten Hag, Rolfes and company reportedly had extensive discussions about Kasper Hjulmand, according to 'Bild' reports.

In the Bundesliga, the former Denmark coach is no stranger: In the summer of 2014, he succeeded Thomas Tuchel at Mainz 05. However, Hjulmand did not settle in the Rhineland. By February 2015, he was dismissed by Mainz after securing only one win in his last 13 games.
