Reports from Germany indicate that Bayer Leverkusen is keeping a close watch on Brighton’s head coach, Fabian Hürzeler. This interest arises amid growing uncertainty surrounding the long-term position of current head coach Kasper Hjulmand.
Recent news suggests that the Danish coach might depart Leverkusen this summer, following a noticeable dip in the team’s form and performances over the past few weeks. Consequently, Die Werkself are actively exploring coaching options should they decide to make a change in their dugout leadership.
Among the potential candidates is Brighton’s Fabian Hürzeler. Leverkusen had previously been linked with the former St. Pauli head coach in 2024 when the future of Xabi Alonso was in doubt, though Hürzeler ultimately made the move to the Premier League.
Leverkusen’s Title Ambitions
With CEO Fernando Carro publicly stating the club’s ambition to win the Bundesliga again by 2028 or 2029, securing a coach capable of guiding the team back to the top is paramount. Hürzeler, at just 33 years old, continues to be highly regarded in Germany and possesses significant potential to develop into a top-tier head coach.
