Life After Alonso: A New Chapter at BayArena
Bayer Leverkusen's 2026-27 campaign begins without the manager who delivered the club's first Bundesliga title. Carles Martínez steps into the dugout tasked with refreshing the squad without losing the high-tempo, vertical football that became Leverkusen's identity. Out go Jonas Hofmann, Aleix García and Mario Hermoso; in come South American prospects and defensive reinforcements. The challenge is to stay in the Champions League places while a younger team finds its rhythm.
