Kasper Hjulmand, the new head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, has spoken about his return to the Bundesliga, expressing his delight and enthusiasm for being back in the league. After a successful debut, Hjulmand reflected on his experience, highlighting the passion and dedication of German football fans.
“Football in Germany is for the people,” he said, emphasizing the league’s commitment to the sport.
Hjulmand’s return to the Bundesliga comes after a 3,864-day absence, with his last match in charge of Mainz 05 ending in a 4-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund in February 2015. Despite a successful stint with the Danish national team, Hjulmand’s last match in charge of a football team also took place in Dortmund, where Denmark was eliminated from the 2024 Euros. However, Hjulmand’s focus is on his passion for the game, not proving himself after his previous experience.

As the new head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, Hjulmand faces a challenging task, but he is confident in his abilities. He knows the Bundesliga from his time with Mainz 05 in 2014-15 and is eager to make a positive impact on his new team. With a focus on passion and dedication, Hjulmand is ready to take on the challenges of the Bundesliga.
