Marca: Leverkusen asked Harvey to take over Tenghager last week, and he refused with doubts

Hupu September 2nd According to the Spanish media "Marca", the media updated the situation between Bundesliga team Leverkusen and former Barcelona coach Xavi. It is reported that Leverkusen took the initiative to contact former Barcelona coach Xavi last week and invited him to coach the team, but the proposal was rejected by Xavi again.

Leverkusen officially announced on Monday that head coach Tenghager was dismissed after only two games in coaching the club, and the club immediately started the successor of the new coach. Marca revealed that as early as last week, Leverkusen had sent representatives to communicate with former Barcelona coach Xavi, hoping to convince him to take over the team. This trend also shows that the club's senior management had already made the decision to fire Tenghager at that time.

In fact, this is not the first time that Leverkusen has issued an invitation to Harvey. As early as after Xavi Alonso left office in June this year, Leverkusen tried to hire Xavi as head coach, but at that time the Spanish football celebrity thought the time was not yet ripe, so he politely declined the invitation. This time, Leverkusen sent an invitation again, and Harvey still chose to refuse. The report further pointed out that Xavi has certain doubts about the current internal situation of the Leverkusen club, especially the team is in a turbulent period. In addition, Tenghager's practice of being fired in a short period of time also caused Harvey to doubt the club's stability and long-term planning. Taking into account many factors, Xavi finally insisted on not returning to coach Leverkusen for the time being.
