Leipzig's coaching search: Jaissle in sight as a star option!

Leipzig's coaching search: Jaissle in sight as a star option!

RB Leipzig is going through a turbulent period after the club sacked Marco Rose following a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday. The sporting leadership, under the leadership of Marcel Schäfer, sees the season's goals in danger and has decided to initiate a new beginning. Zsolt Löw has been appointed interim coach and will look after the team until the end of the season. He is 45 years old and currently works in Jürgen Klopp's team. Löw will be on the bench as coach in the DFB Cup semi-final against VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday.

Those responsible at RB Leipzig have now drawn up a list of potential successors for the coaching position. Oliver Glasner, who is currently at Crystal Palace, as well as Roger Schmidt and Matthias Jaissle are particularly eye-catching. The latter is a former U17 coach at RB Leipzig and currently works at Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia. Jaissle has proven to be a particularly talented coach there and could consider a return to Europe despite his high salary of €11 million a year. He is considered the favorite to succeed Rose because he knows the Red Bull cosmos well.

Selected coaching candidates

• Matthias Jaissle (Al-Ahli): Ehemaliger U17-Trainer von RB Leipzig, Punkteschnitt von 2,05 in 205 Profispielen.
• Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace): Punkteschnitt von 1,72 in 432 Spielen, gewann 2022 die Europa League.
• Roger Schmidt (vereinslos): Ehemaliger Trainer von Benfica Lissabon, Punkteschnitt von 1,93 in 739 Spielen.
• Danny Röhl (Sheffield Wednesday): Ehemaliger Assistent von Hansi Flick, Punkteschnitt von 1,40 in 82 Spielen.
• Robert Klauß (Rapid Wien): Ehemaliger Assistent von RB Leipzig, Punkteschnitt von 1,66 in 247 Spielen.

Marcel Schäfer has emphasized that the new coach should share the club philosophy and play attacking football. During his time as interim coach, Zsolt Löw himself will focus on leading the team into the top four in the remaining nine league games in order to secure Champions League qualification. Leipzig is currently in sixth place and therefore still has some challenges ahead of it.

The decision to dismiss Marco Rose after more than 900 days in office was difficult because he has shaped the team during this time. Nevertheless, the sporting management was convinced that a new impulse was necessary to save the season. Zsolt Löw will not only act as coach, but will also remain “Head of Soccer Development” at Red Bull after his interim position, which underlines his close connection to the club.

RB Leipzig's intensive coaching search shows the desire to find the right candidate as quickly as possible in order to continue to promote the club's sporting ambitions.
