Peter Hyballa was appointed head coach at FC DAC 1904 Dunajska Streda from the summer of 2018. The former assistant and youth coach at the Werkself knows Kucz from their time together with the U19s. "Tomasz needs to get match practice at a high level. That's incredibly important for his future development," said sporting director Simon Rolfes. "We've had very very good experience of this approach at Bayer 04. Tomasz now has the chance to take the next step in the Slovakian first division."
Kucz came to Leverkusen in the summer of 2015. The talented goalkeeper joined Bayer 04 from Polonia Warsaw and went on to make 36 appearances in the U19 Bundesliga West and twice played in the DFB Youth Cup as well as the UEFA Youth League. During that time he also made his debut as a Poland youth player. Tomasz Kucz has been part of the Bayer 04 first team squad since the summer of 2018.
