We wish him all the best for the future.”
Kahraman initially supported the Leverkusen women’s team from autumn 2023 as a personal trainer and scout, and became assistant coach in summer 2024. Prior to that, the holder of a UEFA A coaching licence had worked for clubs including Eintracht Frankfurt, VfL Wolfsburg and 1. FSV Mainz 05.
“I find it incredibly difficult to say goodbye after such a rewarding time, during which I felt I've been able to develop enormously, thanks above all to the support of Linda Schöttler, Thomas Eichin and, in particular, Roberto Pätzold and Achim Feifel,” Kahraman said. “I ve always thoroughly enjoyed working with them, and I look back with deep pride on the fantastic progress we've made over the last few years. I will cherish all these wonderful moments in my heart forever.”

Assistant coach Remzi Kahraman is leaving the Bayer 04 Women’s team with immediate effect to take up a new challenge abroad. The club has agreed to the 31-year-old’s request to leave, although his contract was originally due to run until 2027. A decision on his successor will be announced shortly.
