Leverkusen (AP) - Coach Peter Bosz regrets his leave of absence from Bundesliga soccer club Bayer Leverkusen.

He wanted to "thank you for the many emotional messages that have reached me," said Bosz in a statement to the German press agency: "It's not an easy time for all of us, and saying goodbye is not only particularly difficult for me."

Addressing the fans, the Dutchman described the more than two years as head coach of the Werkself as “a very nice time that we had together with attractive and successful football, and during which I always felt your support!

I am sure that we would have achieved our sporting goals together. "

After four wins from the last 17 competitive games, Bayer separated from the 57-year-old on Tuesday.

Bosz had led Leverkusen into the Champions League in the first year and into the cup final in the second.

Bayer is only sixth this season and has already been eliminated from both cup competitions.

In mid-December, the Leverkusen team topped the table in the Bundesliga.
