Hürzeler could replace Hjulmand at the helm of Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly considering Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Fabian Hürzeler as a potential successor to Kasper Hjulmand, according to Sky Sport. The German club have hit a worrying spell, collecting only one victory in their last nine outings across all competitions. Their downturn included a Champions League exit at the hands of Arsenal in the round of 16 and a slide to sixth place in the Bundesliga, leaving them outside next season’s Champions League positions.

This poor run has intensified scrutiny on Hjulmand, whose future appears increasingly uncertain as internal discussions continue. Early indications suggest Leverkusen are already evaluating alternatives, with Hürzeler emerging as a leading candidate. The young Brighton manager has impressed in the Premier League, steering the Seagulls to within five points of European qualification. His growing reputation and tactical clarity make him an appealing option should Leverkusen opt for a change in the summer.
