Carles Martinez, Bayer Leverkusen, Toulouse
4 June 2026
Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly set to appoint Carles Martinez as their new head coach in a surprise move. The former Toulouse boss was not widely linked with the role, but has emerged as their chosen candidate.
Martinez is available after his Toulouse contract expired and brings experience from Barcelona’s academy, Qatar and Kuwait before stepping up in Ligue 1. Leverkusen turned to him after talks with more familiar names failed to produce a deal.
