players will try hard and may even play better knowing that Ten Hag is gone, but Frankfurt is not an easy opponent, even though Bayer beat them twice last season.
I just found out that Leverkusen has officially appointed Kasper Hjulmand. I am more familiar with Ten Hag by name, but perhaps that is because his track record is not very good. As for Kasper Hjulmand, I see that he also has a fairly good history, so perhaps he can lead Leverkusen better than Ten Hag. I have also heard that the selection of Ten Hag as coach has been acknowledged as a mistake, and management does not want to make any more mistakes.
Hiring Ten Hag was a mistake, which is best ignored for now. I started to gain confidence in Leverkusen after he was fired, especially after the appointment of Kasper Hjulmand. If Kasper Hjulmand is not a very familiar face in club football, especially for me. Before being appointed to Leverkusen, he was the coach of the Danish national team. Under him, Denmark played in the semi-finals of the UEFA Euro 2020. He even represented them in the FIFA World Cup and the Euro Cup in 2022. He resigned in 2024 after the team failed to reach the desired goals and the team deteriorated. After that, he is currently appointed as the coach of Leverkusen. Although he has no great achievements, I think he will be able to take Leverkusen to a good position.
