The management of "Bayer" considered the former coach of "Chelsea" Thomas Tuchel as a candidate for the post of head coach, according to Sport1.
The 49-year-old specialist refused even to negotiate with "pharmacists". Tuchel has been out of work since September after his dismissal from Chelsea.
Bayer Leverkusen's owners have now given current head coach Gerardo Seoane two matches to rectify the situation - against Porto in the Champions League and Schalke in the Bundesliga.
After the 8th round of the German championship, "Bayer" occupies the 17th place in the tournament table with 5 points in assets.
