Schmidt had reportedly been set for the exit, but those claims have been slammed by the team manager
Reports suggesting Bayer Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt is set to be dismissed by the club have been branded as an "outrageous lie" by team manager Rudi Voller.
Sky Deutschland claimed before Saturday's 3-0 defeat of Eintracht Frankfurt that a shareholders' meeting had taken place earlier that day and the decision to sack Schmidt had been reached.
But the story left Voller fuming, with the former Germany international insisting the claims carry no substance, despite Leverkusen enduring a somewhat underwhelming campaign so far and sitting down in eighth.
