Managerial career
Seoane was appointed manager of reigning Swiss Super League champions Young Boys on 2 June 2018.[3] Seoane, aged 39, was considered a surprise pick to succeed Adi Hütter as coach, despite guiding FC Luzern to third place in the Super League in his first full management job.[3] Upon taking the role as Young Boys manager, Seoane pledged to continue with Hütter's playing style and keep the backroom staff in place.[3]
In his first season in charge, he guided the club to their 13th league title and helped the club qualify to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in club history.[3][4] In his second season, Seoane led the club to a domestic double, delivering their 14th league title (their third in a row) and seventh cup title and first in over 30 years.[5]
In May 2021, it was announced that Seoane would coach Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen.[6] In the 2021–22 season, he led Bayer Leverkusen to finish third in the Bundesliga, to be their best finish in seven seasons. However, he was sacked in October 2022, due to his club's poor start of the next season since their promotion in 1979.[7]
Personal life
Seoane was born in Luzern, Switzerland to Galician parents and holds both Swiss and Spanish citizenship.[8] In addition to German, he is also fluent in Spanish, English, French, Italian and Portuguese.[9]
