"We've had a very impressive season in the women's Bundesliga and that is obviously also due to the work of the coaching staff. We are happy to be able to go forward with these coaches in future," said Thomas Eichin, director of the Performance Centre.
Jacqueline Dünker has worked alongside Achim Feifel as a coach with the Bayer 04 Women's team since 2019/20. The 34-year-old wore the Bayer 04 shirt herself from 2008 2011 and was part of the promotion team in her second season. "I'm very happy to be able to carry on working here at Bayer 04. We have a great and committed team with young players and I’m excited to see their potential," said Dünker. "We have developed women's football well here at the club and we believe in our targets. I'm very happy about continuing to help out."
It was a match that will live long in the memory of everyone involved: The Bayer 04 U19s celebrated their seventh win in seven matches in the DFB Youth League preliminary round – and yet it was a very special victory indeed: in the 4–3 (1–1) win at VfL Bochum 1848, no fewer than five goals came in the final quarter of an hour. As the 90th minute approached, coach Patrick Greveraars’s side found themselves behind, but then fought back in true ‘Laterkusen’ style.

What's more, the Werkself have won all three of their previous home matches against the Black Forest club.
