“Robert de Pauw has been actively committed to the club since he took up his position and has done a great job. Together, we have forged a successful path over a long period of time,” said Eichin. “Now we have decided to take a new path at the start of the coming season.”
“We've had some good discussions since the winter break. In the end, we came to the decision to go our separate ways,” said de Pauw. “We had two successful years in which we worked well together. But now I'm looking forward to taking on a new challenge elsewhere. Until then, we want to get everything out of the season together and achieve our goals.”
Leverkusen are currently fifth in the Bundesliga with 21 points after 15 games, while the Werkself missed out on a semi-final spot in the DFB Cup with a 2-1 defeat to Essen at the BayArena. De Pauw took over in the summer of 2022 and led Bayer 04 Women to fifth place in the table last year. He had previously won the league and cup in the Netherlands with the women’s team at Twente.
