Hans Wolf takes charge: Bayer Leverkusen splits with coach Peter Bose – Sport

Bayer Leverkusen parted ways with coach Peter Bose in a never-ending sports crisis. According to the association, Haynes Wolf will follow him “until the end of the current season”. The 39-year-old, who previously coached VFP Stuttgart and Hamburger SV, is currently coaching the U18 national team.

Peter Herman, 69, who has served Bayer as a player, assistant and interim coach for 29 years, will return as his assistant coach.

The 57-year-old Dutchman has been in office since January 4, 2019. Bose won only four of 17 matches with Bayer in 2021, was relegated from first place in the Bundesliga to sixth in mid-December and was eliminated in the DFP Cup against the Young Boys Bern in the fourth division Road-Weiss Essen and Europa League. . Bose still has a contract until 2022.

“Considering the growth of football in recent weeks, we have come to the conclusion that separation from Peter Bose is no longer inevitable,” said Sports Director Rudy Wuller: “The 3-0 draw at Hertha BS on Sunday has unfortunately brought our team’s character back to normal recently. We can not put an end to the mistakes that come back and return to the path of success .After a factual and very transparent analysis of the situation in the game, despite much praise for Peter Bose, we agreed to cut. “

Sports director Simon Rolfes said, “We want to turn things around with the new coaching staff and take the path to abandoned success.”

International aspirations persist

Despite being a very young coach, Haynes Wolf impressed himself with the big clubs. One thing is clear: “Our international aspirations continue, and we are currently sixth in the table, in the Europa League, at least for those we want to defend. “

Leverkusen’s bosses have recently made themselves clear behind the pose several times. Bose was very popular at the club and his work and general belief in sports philosophy were good.

However, after two Cup matches, the Champions League was a clear target. Bayer is currently in sixth place, seven points fourth.

Bose, who is due to leave Borussia Dortmund for more than four months in 2017, has named Bayer as the successor to Haiko Herlic, who was on leave at Christmas 2018. He took Leverkusen to the Champions League in the first season. In the second year he missed it in fifth place, but reached the cup final, which was lost to Bayern 2: 4. He has been a self-coach in 108 tournaments, of which he has won 59 matches. (dpa)
