Bayer Leverkusen: Gerardo Seoane "will not survive"

The Swiss coach Gerardo Seoane is currently not in an easy position at Bayer Leverkusen. Club boss Fernando Carro admits that he is not unprepared for a change of coach. With Thomas Tuchel there is an exciting personality on the market. Bayer allegedly already had contact with him.

“Gerardo won’t have a chance, he won’t survive it,” said ex-Bundesliga professional Markus Babbel in the ran Bundesliga web show. For him, the appearance of Bayer boss Fernando Carro in sports1-Double pass a “rhetorical declaration of bankruptcy”. “He was actually really able to prepare for it. The Leverkusen game was on Friday and the show was on Sunday,” said Babbel.

The Swiss head coach looks at the whole thing calmly and said before the essential Champions League game at FC Porto (Tuesday, 9 p.m. in LIVETICKER): “I can deal with this situation well and focus on my task.”

Should Bayer lose, Seoane will probably run out of arguments. In the Bundesliga, Leverkusen are in 17th place after losing 4-0 at Bayern Munich. In the DFB Cup, the team said goodbye to third division club Elversberg in the first round.

“We are not naïve. And you can rest assured that we are not unprepared,” said Carro.
