Former Real Madrid star Raúl is actually unlikely to become Bayer Leverkusen's new head coach.
Meanwhile, there have also been rumors about Edin Terzić and Marco Rose in recent days, but they are not being considered at present.
A new candidate is under discussion: Angelos "Ange" Postecoglou (60). Bayer Leverkusen's advantage lies in the fact that this Australian with Greek ancestry is not currently attached to any club. He won the Europa League title with Tottenham Hotspur last summer.
Rose has already been ruled out, and Roger Schmidt (58), Leverkusen's former head coach, also turned down the offer. He personally informed Bayer Leverkusen of his decision, just as he did when contacted by other top international clubs before.
Spaniard Raúl (48), Claudio Giráldes (37/RC Celta) and Iñigo Pérez (37/Rayo Vallecano) are also not among Leverkusen's considerations.
When will the new head coach take over Bayer Leverkusen?
Rolfes said: “National team players won't be back until Tuesday or Wednesday. So we still have a few days to decide on next week's training plan to prepare for the match against Eintracht Frankfurt.”
In other words: If Bayer Leverkusen hasn't found a new head coach by the start of the new week, Sascha Meyer will most likely manage Leverkusen in the game against Frankfurt.
