Bayer Leverkusen have extended the contracts of managing directors Fernando Carro and Simon Rolfes. While there's been considerable upheaval on the touchline as of late, continuity in Leverkusen's front office has never been an issue. Coaching stability remains elusive at Germany's red company team. Managerial stability, on the other hand, appears set.
Leverkusen confirmed on Saturday that CEO Carro has signed a new deal through summer 2029, while sporting managing director Rolfes has committed his future through 2031. Shareholders' committee chairman Werner Wenning credited both executives with playing central roles in Bayer's development over recent years, including the club's historic domestic double in 2024.
"The greatest sporting successes in our club's history are just as much a result of their work as the sustainable development of the entire club," Wenning said.
"We want to and will remain hungry," Carro noted. "Our ambition remains to continuously improve at all levels."
Rolfes, a former Leverkusen captain, initially returned to the club in an administrative capacity before becoming sporting director and joining the management board in 2022.

The Mets continued the churn of the pitching staff, recalling Zach Thornton and optioning Tobias Myers to Triple-A Syracuse.
Thornton will start today in the final game of the first half for the Mets against the Red Sox, which will be Thornton's third MLB start. His first start against the was a little rough; over four and a third innings, Thornton surrendered four hits, including a home run, and walked two, good for four earned runs and a loss. However, his second start was far better, going six strong innings of one run ball, striking out seven while walking one.
If the Mets decide to trade some of their starters at the deadline, and if pitchers like Jonah Tong and Jack Wenninger continue to scuffle, Thornton may be a key piece of the Mets' rotation through the end of 2026.
Myers has recently been a ping pong ball, shuttling between the big league club and Triple-A a number of times. After a great spring training, Myers had a decent start to the season before hitting a tough patch before being sent down at the end of May. Since his initial optioning, things have been ugly for Myers, whose ERA has jumped more than two runs in that time.
