Live Bar, August 4 News on Friday afternoon local time, Leverkusen officially announced the renewal of the contract with coach Harvey Alonso.
The official announcement of Leverkusen said that the club had renewed its contract with Alonso for two years in advance, and the new contract between the two sides ended on June 30, 2026.
Alonso took over Leverkusen, who was deeply relegated in last October. During the season, he led the team to the semi-finals of the European Union Cup and finally won the sixth place in the league.
To renew the contract in advance, Alonso said: “I am very grateful to Leverkusen for his trust in me. In fact, we have the same idea and consistent direction in the aspect of competition, which has established a strong relationship of closeness and trust between me and the top.”
“This is also a good and relaxed Foundation for daily work. Therefore, I am very happy to work with my team members and all colleagues in pharmaceutical factories. My comments on last season were positive. But I want more, and so does the club. We will continue to work hard on this goal firmly.”
Rolfes, the sports director, said: “Although the signing of Alonso in last October was generally recognized, it also caused some doubts. We were in a very difficult situation at that time. Everyone thought he was a world-class player, but he was also a coach with insufficient experience and no coaching of top teams.”
“However, I believed in his ability from the beginning, and he also trusted our team’s strength. Together, we overcame obstacles and created the best prospect for Leverkusen again. The current renewal is an expression of our high appreciation for him and mutual trust.”
Carlo, CEO of the club, said: “Harvey is very meticulous and analytical, but he is also very authoritative. This style is very good for Leverkusen. At the same time, he has a good environment for us and the Bundesliga league. As a very young coach, he can further improve his ability here. Both of us are very ambitious, so the promise of renewal also includes clear goals to achieve some achievements for the club.”
