Big changes are happening at Bayer Leverkusen, and one of Nigeria’s brightest exports, Nathan Tella, is right in the middle of it! The Bundesliga club has officially appointed Kasper Hjulmand, the former Denmark national team coach, as their new manager, replacing Erik ten Hag who was dismissed after a disappointing start to the season.
🗣️ Leverkusen Confirmed:
“Welcome to Leverkusen, Kasper Hjulmand! Bayer 04 has appointed the 53-year-old Dane as its new head coach, signing him to a contract until June 30, 2027.”
📉 What Went Wrong?
Ten Hag’s tenure was short-lived with Leverkusen failing to win either of their first two league matches: a 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim and a 2-2 draw against 10-man Werder Bremen.
Despite the chaos, Nathan Tella started both games and even provided an assist, showing glimpses of the form that made him such a key figure last season.
🦅 What This Means for Tella
With a new manager at the helm, it’s a fresh opportunity for the Super Eagles forward to solidify his place in the team and continue impressing on the European stage.
💬 Will Hjulmand trust in Tella’s talent?
💪 One thing’s for sure: Tella has the quality, pace, and hunger to thrive. And we’ll be watching every step of the way.
