Rudi Voller says manager has support of Leverkusen board

Bayer Leverkusen general manager Rudi Voller insists that Robin Dutt is not on the verge of being sacked. That's despite Voller recently stating he was unhappy at the progress made at the BayArena during the first half of the season. Leverkusen have picked up just 26 points from their 17 league games this season and are currently sixth in the Bundesliga table. Voller told Colgone-based newspaper Express: "Robin Dutt is enjoying our full support. We have faith in him. "He has to get back to where he was at the start of his spell at our club. "He needs to be fully convinced of his own work. He needs to do what he feels he needs to do. The ambition to move people, to drive them on. "Still, at the end of the day, the players have to do their part also."
