RB Leipzig in coaching fever: Jaissle as a favorite on Rose succession!

rb Leipzig faces a decisive phase in the club history after Marco Rose was released as a coach after an unfortunate defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach. The sporting leadership saw the season goals in danger because the team had slipped to sixth place. Zsolt Löw, previously in the team of Jürgen Klopp, has been appointed interim coach and will look after the team until the end of the season, in the hope of securing the qualification for the Champions League. Löw is supported by Peter Krawietz, Klopp's long-standing assistant coach.

The new sporting tour under Marcel Schäfer has already created a list of potential coaches for the coming season. The focus is particularly on trainers with experiences in the Red Bull cosmos. According to OE24.at are Oliver Glasner, Roger Schmidt and Matthias Jaissle for the succession of Rose.

Matthias Jaissle, who has already become an Austrian champion twice at the age of 36, is the favorite. The ex-coach of Red Bull Salzburg has already trained the team in the young area in Leipzig and is currently working for the Saudi club Al-Ali. There he deserves 11 million euros a year and could take a change back to Europe, as rblive.de reported.

• Oliver Glasner (currently at Crystal Palace): In 2022 won the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt, has a point cut of 1.72.
• Roger Schmidt (without a club): Former coach of Benfica Lisbon, known for a point cut of 1.93 in 739.
• Danny Röhl (Sheffield Wednesday): Former assistant by Hansi Flick, point cut of 1.40 in 82 games.
• Matthias Jaissle (al-Nahli): Point cut of 2.05 in 205 professional games.
• Robert Klauß (Rapid Vienna): Currently with Rapid in fifth place in the Austrian Bundesliga, point cut of 1.66 in 247 games.

The sporting management plans to sign a trainer who shares the club philosophy and preaches an offensive game. Meanwhile, Zsolt Löw will have a look at the remaining nine games of the season to bring the team back into the success. He has already emphasized that the placement of the first four is to secure participation in the Champions League when it comes to the club's sporting starting situation.

A complete fresh start with a new head coach is planned for the summer. The change of coach marks an important turn in the club, which has to show a strong performance in both the Bundesliga and in the DFB Cup.
