September 7 According to Biography, Leverkusen is looking for a new coach, and former Danish coach Casper Yurmand is a popular candidate.

After coaching only three official games, Tenghach was fired by Leverkusen. Fernando Carlo, the club's senior executive, said they need a head coach who can lead the team, provide clear direction of development and have rich tactical knowledge.

After the 2024 European Cup, Jurmand resigned as Denmark's head coach and is still in an idle state. Jurmand has rich experience in international competitions and has led the Danish national team to participate in the 2021, 2024 European Cup, 2022 World Cup, etc. He coached a total of 54 games. In 2012, he led North Zealand to the Danish Premier League championship and trained many top young players.

Jurmand is proficient in English and German, which makes his communication with the team smoother. He prefers the 3-4-2-1 formation, which is very suitable for Leverkusen's existing lineup. He coached at Mainz in 2014-15 and is very familiar with the Bundesliga.

Jurmand is known for his inspiring speeches, especially during the 2021 European Cup, when Eriksson suddenly fell to the ground against Finland. Eventually, he led the Denmark to the semi-finals of that European Cup.

Nevertheless, Leverkusen is not in a hurry to make a decision, as Roger Mayer is currently serving as interim coach and the club is full of trust in him. If all goes well, Mayer may continue to lead the team against Frankfurt.
