RB Leipzig separated from coach Marco Rose. Who is coming now? One of the most famous coaches in the football world finally works at Red Bull.
The news made the Bundesliga listen on Sunday morning: RB Leipzig separated from coach Marco Rose. Two victories from the last ten league games, plus the bankruptcy on Saturday at Borussia Mönchengladbach, which thus replaced Saxons to sixth place-too little for the high demands of the ambitious club, which sees itself at least among the top 4 in Germany. With Rose, his complete coaching team around his assistants Alexander Zickler, Marco Kurth and Frank Geeckeck also has to go, as well as Frank Aehlig, previously head of the license player department.
“Anyone who trains the team by the end of the season will announced the club shortly,” RB said.
One of the best-known coaches in the football world in the Red Bull cosmos is currently working: Jürgen Klopp has been “Head of Global Soccer” at Red Bull since January 2025, leads the international network of the associations belonging to the corporate cosmos in Austria-and is therefore also responsible for RB Leipzig. Is there a sensational comeback from “Kloppo” in the Bundesliga, at least for the remaining seven games of the season?
The answer: rather unlikely, probably even excluded. At his introduction to Red Bull, the long-standing success coach of Liverpool was a job as a coach at a football team from the RB cosmos and the German national team in the coming years.
“I will not be a coach of a Red Bull team, there is a clear deal. I will not replace any of the Red Bull coaches,” said the 57-year-old at the Press In the Hangar-7 at Salzburg Airport. Before that, he had been asked whether he would possibly step in at an RB team in the event of a case.
Curious: At that time, Klopp said about his former Mainz teammates Rose and his colleague Sandro Schwarz, who works at Red Bull New York: “I am happy to work with you. I already told you that you would be good coaches.
Now at least Rose is no longer a coach in the club construct of Red Bull. And Klopp now has to find a successor. After all, he doesn’t want to.
