  • Story Text: Former Germany coach Berti Vogts will replace Rudi
    Voeller as Bayer Leverkusen coach,
    the first division club said on Thursday (November 9).



    Former Germany defender Vogts won the 1974 World Cup
    as a player and coached Germany to victory in the 1996 European
    championship. He stepped down after Germany's quarter-final exit
    in the 1998 World Cup in France.

    Voeller, who stepped in as Leverkusen coach after Christoph
    Daum resigned following a positive drugs test, will now be able
    to concentrate on the national team.

    The former Germany striker was expected to announce later on
    Thursday he will remain Germany coach after his contract ends on
    May 31. He was appointed on a caretaker basis last July.
