The former media director at Hamburg SV will coordinate the myriad of complex processes around the Leverkusen first team to maximise the mutual effect of the different sections at the Werkself.
"Demands on the coaching and support staff have grown enormously in the recent past due to specialisation. We have taken that into account," said sporting director Rudi Völler. "Jörn Wolf will act as a lynchpin in the processes between the different parts of the coaching staff, the physiotherapy and psychological sections as well as the remaining support staff. We are looking to improve the efficiency across all sections."
For head coach Roger Schmidt the creation of the new position is "the result of two and a half years successful cooperation that we have constantly analysed and assessed. The engagement of Jörn Wolf with his wide experience of the football business is an ideal appointment," said Schmidt. "Jörn's job will be to liaise between the specialists in the various sections. The target is to make full use of the potential of the many specialists and create ideal conditions for our team."

Under the slogan ‘Holidays without War’, 60 children from war-torn Ukraine took part in the summer camp organised by the German-Ukrainian association Blau-Gelbes Kreuz in Leverkusen and the surrounding area in August. The children aged between 10 and 14 – many of whom have lost their parents in the war – come from the Ukrainian twin towns of Leverkusen, Cologne and Monheim am Rhein: Nikopol, Dnipro and Volodymyr. Bayer 04, Bayer AG and TSV Bayer 04 supported the camp to mark its 10th anniversary, enabling even more children and young people than in previous years to spend a few carefree days’ holiday away from the war in the Rhineland.
