After the exemption from Marco Rose, RB Leipzig has to present a successor as quickly as possible, as the cup semi-final against VfB Stuttgart is already due on Wednesday. According to “Sky”, the most likely option is an old acquaintance. Talks are underway with Zsolt Lőw, and this could take over on Monday.
From 2015 to 2018, the 45-year-old worked as a co-coach of Ralph Hasenhüttl (83 games) and Ralf Rangnick (36 games) at the Red Bulls. Then he went alongside Thomas Tuchel to Paris Saint-Germain, FC Chelsea and FC Bayern Munich. He does not yet have experience as a head coach.
However, Löw has been a candidate for the role of the main person responsible for a large club for a long time. He was already traded as a candidate at VfB Stuttgart and SC Freiburg in 2019, in 2020 at TSG Hoffenheim and again in Stuttgart in 2022. When Tuchel was introduced to the English national team without Löw in October, this was considered a sign that he wanted to strive for his own career as head coach.
Leipzig separated from Rose on Sunday after the 0-1 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach (for the news). 42 points after 27 match days are the worst yield in the Bundesliga since the promotion in 2016. In addition, the KO phase in the Champions League was clearly missed with only three points from eight games.
