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.
