Originally from a small town near Stuttgart, Leno grew up with his brother in Bietigheim-Bissingen.

Leno was energetic as a child, according to those who knew him. He channeled these energies into sports.

Back then, every toy was a football.”

Leno played local games during holidays, especially on “bad pitches,” which didn’t matter to him because he was with friends. After taking up football as a career at the age of 6, he decided to take it seriously. The foundation of Leno’s career was laid when he joined his youth team SV Germania Bietigheim. As soon as he joined the club he began playing as a midfielder.
