Bayer Leverkusen CEO Simon Rolfes: After weeks of restless nights, Bayer Leverkusen CEO Simon Rolfes is finally sleeping easily again. Ahead of Tuesday evening's UEFA Champions League encounter against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Rolfes spoke about the immense challenge of rebuilding the club this summer, a task that robbed him of sleep for weeks.

"The dubious pleasure of getting to know every inch of the ceiling above my bed," is how the former German international described the period. He said things have now returned to normal, but the 2024 German champion's wild weeks have left their mark.

Losing coaching hero Xabi Alonso this summer, having to sack his successor Erik ten Hag after only two months, and then appointing former Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand was far from easy, Rolfes admitted, reports Xinhua.
