Düsseldorf (dpa) - For Bayer Leverkusen's sports director Simon Rolfes, Rudi Völler remains an important advisor even after his tenure at the works club has ended.
«I have been responsible for the operational business for two and a half years now, whether for the licensing team, for scouting or for the next generation.
But that doesn't change the fact that Rudi is always an important contact for me with his tremendous experience, ”Rolfes told the portal“ ran-online ”.
Völler will leave Bayer as Managing Director Sport in summer 2022 and then transfer all of the sporting competence to Rolfes.
«Rudi has been one of the defining figures in German football for decades.
He is hugely popular and a proven football expert.
In any case, I think it is fundamentally wrong to ignore the wealth of experience that older people have, ”said Rolfes.
"That's why Rudi will always be an important advisor to me - even after 2022."
