Raúl Reported Candidate to Replace Ten Hag at Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen is searching for a new head coach following the sacking of Erik Ten Hag just weeks into the Bundesliga season, with Real Madrid legend Raúl González emerging as a leading candidate. Raúl, who recently left his role coaching Real Madrid Castilla, is known for his strong Bundesliga ties from his playing days at Schalke 04 and his success with Real Madrid's youth teams. Other candidates reportedly include Borussia Dortmund's Edin Terzić and former RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose. Ten Hag, who succeeded Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen, faced a difficult start with only one point from two league matches and reportedly had a strained relationship with club management. The club aims to appoint a new manager swiftly, potentially by the end of the week. Raúl's familiarity with German football and coaching experience position him as a promising option to lead Leverkusen's rebuilding efforts.
