Bayer Leverkusen is interested in Claudio Giráldez, the coach of Celta de Vigo, to replace Erik Ten Hag.

The Galician coach, who qualified the Celeste team for the Europa League, is on the radar of several European teams thanks to his style and success in Vigo.

A Profile that Fits the Bundesliga

Bayer Leverkusen's preference for young and offensive coaches is not new. First, it was Xabi Alonso, then Ten Hag, and now the focus is on Giráldez. His preferred system, the 3-4-3, matches the scheme that the German club had been using, facilitating the adaptation.

Furthermore, the coach from O Porriño is known for giving prominence to young footballers, a detail that aligns perfectly with Leverkusen's signing policy, as their squad is mostly composed of players under 25 years old.

Celta's Miracle and Giráldez's Projection

At 38 years old, Giráldez has achieved what seemed impossible: rescuing Celta from the bottom of LaLiga and taking them to Europe a year later. His numbers endorse his work: the Celeste team achieved one of its highest scores in the last decade, along with establishing a core of youth academy graduates who are now undisputed starters.

In the last match against Villarreal, the coach emphasized that "nine out of eleven starters had come from the youth team," highlighting his dedication to the academy. This style has been recognized by the fans and garnered attention throughout Europe.

Leverkusen's interest comes at a delicate moment. In recent days, tensions between Giráldez and Celta's board have surfaced. After the match against Villarreal, the coach requested reinforcements that did not arrive and expressed criticism. The football director, Marco Garcés, responded bluntly: "We have assembled the most expensive squad in the club's history."

These differences could shape the coach's future, as he is under contract until 2027 but his name is already circulating among clubs with larger budgets.

A Leap to the Champions League?

While the opportunity to coach Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League would represent a significant step up, Giráldez has reiterated in several interviews his desire to remain in Vigo. However, if he replicates the excellent last season, the pressure from bigger clubs could be hard to resist.

Currently, the coach is focusing on Celta's European debut in the Europa League, but the future seems to be leading him further away from Balaídos.
