Although CEO Fernando Carro has publicly backed Bayer Leverkusen head coach Gerardo Seoane, it is well known that the Swiss coach must win matches against Porto in the Champions League and Schalke in the Bundesliga if he is to maintain his job. Carro claimed that B04 aren’t “unprepared” when it comes to making plans for a prospective successor to Sport1’s “Doppelpass” programme.

Thomas Tuchel, who is on the market after being fired from Chelsea in September, was contacted by Bayer Leverkusen, according to Sport1’s Patrick Berger. Tuchel, 49, has relinquished interest in coaching Die Werkself, regardless of whether B04 could pay his wage or not.

Bayer Leverkusen is currently in 17th place in the Bundesliga after eight games, with only one league victory this year. Upon their return to the Champions League, they lost to Club Brugge 1-0 on the first matchday but defeated Atlético Madrid 2-0 on MD2. Leverkusen will meet Porto on Tuesday in a contest that might make or break their season.
