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.
Just in time for the start of the summer holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia, the Werkself will hold another open training session on Tuesday 21 July. The session at the BayArena is scheduled to start at 11:00 CEST and will again be available to watch in a live stream. The fans who are there can look forward to a very special surprise.

Bayer 04 turned in a dominant performance in a 7-0 win against fifth-tier side Sportfreunde Baumberg in their first friendly ahead of the 2026/27 season. A brace from debutant Afonso Moreira (19', 27') either side of a Christian Kofane strike (23') put the Werkself 3-0 up in the first of the two 35-minute halves in Monheim am Rhein. After the break, Victor Boniface (49', 53'), Robert Andrich (56') and Nathan Tella (67') scored for the completely changed Leverkusen team. It was therefore a successful friendly debut for new head coach Carles Martínez and his team, although the hosts also had something to celebrate despite the defeat: the match marked the inauguration of Baumberg's new ground, the MEGA Stadion.
