Bayer Leverkusen has announced the appointment of Carles Martínez Novell as their new head coach. The 42-year-old Spanish tactician joins the German club just a month after departing Toulouse in Ligue 1, succeeding Kasper Hjulmand, who had been in charge since September.
Despite being linked with a return to Spain, specifically to Girona, who were ultimately relegated to LaLiga 2, the Catalan coach has now agreed to a contract with Bayer Leverkusen valid until 2028, preparing for his first experience in the Bundesliga.
With this new challenge, Carles Martínez Novell will lead a team set to compete in the UEFA Europa League next season. The coach already has experience in the competition, having participated with Toulouse in the 2023/2024 campaign. During that run, his team secured a notable 3-2 home victory against Liverpool in the group stage before being eliminated in the knockout round play-offs by Benfica.
