Bayer Leverkusen are very likely to part company with head coach Kasper Hjulmand at the end of the season, according to Kicker.

The German football magazine goes as far as to state that the Dane’s departure from the BayArena this summer appears “inevitable” at this stage.

Hjulmand initially led an improvement in performances after taking over from Erik ten Hag in September, but recent results have been underwhelming, with Die Werkself failing to win any of their last five matches in all competitions.

Following a disappointing 3-3 draw with Heidenheim at the weekend, Leverkusen sit sixth and are in serious danger of missing out on their clear objective of qualifying for the Champions League once again.

Hjulmand’s contract runs until 2027.
