Rudi Voller, managing director of the German football club Bayer Leverkusen, said that he believes that the Leverkusen team, which has suffered greatly from injuries, has achieved a tremendous achievement by achieving third place this season in the German Bundesliga.
Fuller, 62, who won the 1990 World Cup with West Germany, is preparing to leave his post and will be replaced by director of football Simon Rolfes.
Fuller will remain the club’s ambassador and a member of the club’s shareholders committee, which is preparing to return to the Champions League again after a two-year absence.
Voller said in statements to the newspaper “Bild am Sonntag”: “Because it was a difficult season with many injuries, this is a huge success. Leverkusen missed the efforts of German midfielder Florian Wirtz for months due to a torn knee ligament in March, and the team also suffered from several Other injuries. Striker Patrick Sheek recently regained his fitness, to score a double for the team in the match that ended with a 4-2 victory over Hoffenheim yesterday, Saturday, and decided the third place for Leverkusen.
Fuller said: It is a beautiful end for the team in the season, and me as well, although the season witnessed the team’s exit from the round of sixteen in the European League.
There is still one match left, to be held next Saturday, and it is expected to witness a festive atmosphere for the team at home against Freiburg, who are struggling to catch up with Leverkusen in the Champions League next season.
