Adam joined Leverkusen from FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt in the summer of 2018 and, during his eight years at Bayer 04, he was in charge of various age groups in the youth section. Among other roles, he served as assistant coach of the U19s and head coach of the U17s and U16s. Most recently, he took charge of the U17s from September last year, after Kevin Brok moved up to the U19s following Sergi Runge’s appointment to Kasper Hjulmand’s first-team coaching staff.
Bayer 04 would like to thank Benjamin Adam for his valuable work in the youth development programme and wishes him every success, both on and off the pitch, in his new role at Hansa Rostock.

A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
