RB Leipzig Part Ways With Marco Rose After Disappointing Season
RB Leipzig have dismissed head coach Marco Rose following a underwhelming campaign that sees the club sitting sixth in the Bundesliga table. The decision comes after Saturday's 0-1 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach, which left Leipzig three points adrift of the Champions League qualification spots.
The 48-year-old tactician's departure follows a disastrous Champions League campaign where Leipzig lost seven of eight matches. This marked a stark contrast to Rose's successful debut season in 2022-23, when he led the club to DFB-Pokal glory and followed up with DFL-Supercup success.
The search for a new manager will be overseen by Jürgen Klopp, who was appointed head of global football for Red Bull's football network in January. Early candidates reportedly include Oliver Glasner, Sebastian Hoeneß, and Roger Schmidt, according to Sky Sports Germany.
