Sebastian Hoeneß to Replace Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen's managerial search has come to an end

Sebastian Hoeneß is set to be appointed as the new manager of Bayer Leverkusen, replacing Xabi Alonso who left the club by mutual consent earlier this week. Hoeneß, who is the son of Bayern Munich legend Uli Hoeneß, has been out of work since leaving Hoffenheim in July 2022.

Hoeneß has a good track record in the Bundesliga

The 41-year-old has a good track record in the Bundesliga, having led Hoffenheim to the Champions League in 2017-18. He also won the DFB-Pokal with Bayern Munich II in 2019.

Leverkusen are hoping Hoeneß can turn their season around

Leverkusen have endured a difficult season so far, winning just one of their first eight Bundesliga games. They are currently 17th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone.

The club will be hoping that Hoeneß can turn their season around and guide them to a more respectable finish. Hoeneß is expected to be officially unveiled as Leverkusen's new manager on Thursday.

Hoeneß is a highly rated coach

Hoeneß is a highly rated coach and is seen as one of the most promising young managers in Germany. He is known for his attacking style of play and his ability to get the best out of his players.

Leverkusen will be hoping that Hoeneß can bring some much-needed stability to the club and help them achieve their goals for the season.
