Bayer 04 congratulates Hannes Wolf and Teddy Lucic on Good Friday. Wolf was appointed caretaker manager at the Werkself in March of last year. The now 41-year-old coach temporarily gave up his post as Germany U18 coach and in Wolf's eight games in charge in the Bundesliga, Bayer 04 picked up an average of 1.5 points per game – and qualified for the Europa League. The coach then returned to the DFB as agreed and Bayer 04 Leverkusen brought in the current head coach Gerardo Seoane. Many happy returns and much success with the Germany U19s, Hannes.
Lucic, the second birthday boy with a Black and Red past, moved under the Bayer Cross as a player in the summer of 2003. The central defender came from AIK Solna from his home country Sweden and in the following 18 months Lucic made 11 Bundesliga appearances for the Werkself. The former Leverkusen player ended his playing career in Sweden in 2010. Many happy returns to you too on your 49th birthday.
