Arbeloa Offered to Bayer Leverkusen as Coach Candidate
Sergio Arbeloa left Real Madrid weeks ago. His agent offered him to Bayer Leverkusen, which is searching for a head coach. The club’s vacancy was confirmed.
Arbeloa’s departure from Real Madrid left his next role unclear. Rumours linked him to a return to Real Madrid’s youth academy. No official link was established.
Bayer Leverkusen announced an open position for a head coach. The club has evaluated internal and external candidates. Arbeloa’s name entered the shortlist.
Arbeloa retired as a defender after a career that included Real Madrid. He holds a UEFA coaching licence. The licence qualifies him for top‑level management.
Negotiations between Arbeloa’s representatives and Bayer Leverkusen have not been disclosed. No contract terms have been released. Both parties remain in talks.
If appointed, Arbeloa could assume duties before the season starts. Bayer Leverkusen’s next match is scheduled for early August. The club will likely confirm the appointment in the coming weeks.
