Sky Germany understands that Bayer Leverkusen are now in direct negotiations with AFC Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola. 

The report from the pay-TV channel contrasts greatly with previous sources linking ex-Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner with the job. 

Regardless, the Rhineland club are hoping for a quick commitment, although the Spaniard has other offers from European sides on the table.

Iraola was one of the two other concrete candidates Leverkusen had been seriously considering alongside Oliver Glasner.

What can be confirmed however, is that Flamingo coach Filipe Luis has been ruled out of the running since last night.
