Full-Time Report: Leverkusen Falls Short in Europa League Quest
Bayer 04 Leverkusen has announced major changes as Roger Schmidt steps down, with Tayfun Korkut set to take over on March 6. This news comes amidst the club's disappointing performance in the Europa League, following a 3-0 home loss to Atalanta in the quarter-finals.
Schmidt's Departure and Korkut's Appointment
Schmidt's departure has been attributed to the team's recent struggles, including their 12th place standing in the Bundesliga and disappointing Europa League campaign. Korkut, a former Turkish international, will take charge from March 6, bringing with him a wealth of experience gained at clubs such as Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart.
Dembele and Aubameyang Shine
Despite Leverkusen's European setback, the club's attack continues to impress. Ousmane Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been in scintillating form, showcasing their talent and helping the team rack up goals. Their performances will be crucial as Leverkusen aims to improve its domestic results.
Europa League Hopes on the Line
Leverkusen's chances of Europa League glory are now hanging in the balance. After a 3-0 home defeat to Atalanta, they will need to produce a remarkable performance in the away leg to overturn the deficit and keep their hopes alive.
