Kasper Hjulmand
September 2025

Bayer Leverkusen have appointed Kasper Hjulmand as their new head coach after sacking Erik ten Hag just three games into the season. The former Denmark boss has signed a deal until 2027, aiming to restore stability at last year’s Bundesliga runners-up. Ten Hag’s reign ended abruptly after one point from two league games, with Sporting Director Simon Rolfes admitting his hiring was a mistake. Hjulmand, praised for guiding Denmark to the Euro 2021 semi-finals, brings calm leadership and a player-focused approach to reignite Leverkusen’s ambitions.
