Tuchel not taking Leverkusen job

Bayer Leverkusen's search for a new head coach continues after the former Borussia Dortmund boss was ruled out of a BayArena move by his agent

Thomas Tuchel will not become the next head coach at Bayer Leverkusen, according to his agent Olaf Meinking.

Leverkusen are in the market for a new coach following their decision not to continue with interim boss Tayfun Korkut, who replaced Roger Schmidt in March.

Recent reports suggested Tuchel, who parted company with Borussia Dortmund last month, was sitting in pole position for the job, but his representative has ruled out that possibility.
