After the defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Marco Rose was given birth by his duties as head coach at RB Leipzig. On Monday evening, the 48-year-old went to the fans of the Saxons for the first time since he was released.
Marco Rose reacted with emotional words to his end as a coach at RB Leipzig. “Once Leipzig, always Leipzig,” wrote the football teacher released on Sunday in a message to the RB fans, which the Bundesliga club shared at the short message service X in late Monday evening.
“Gratitude is the memory of the heart (Jean-Baptiste Massillon). And I am more than grateful, dear fans, for whom experienced together and your extraordinary support for us and me in the past few weeks and months,” said Rose: “I don’t need to say goodbye, see you in the stadium or in the most beautiful city in the world. Your Marco.”
Marco Rose, like his co-trainers Alexander Zickler, Marco Kurth and Frank Geeck, and Frank Aehlig, head of the license player department, lost after the 0-1 bankruptcy in Gladbach on matchday 27. “We believed in the constellation with Marco and his team for a very long time and tried to create the trend reversal together until the end,” said sports manager Marcel Schäfer.
RB Leipzig wants to save the season with Löw
But after only two victories from the last eleven Bundesliga games, the season goals in Leipzig have seen a long way – although the distance of the sixth in the table in the coveted fourth place is only three points. In the DFB Cup, the team also has the opportunity to move into the final by winning the semi-finals against VfB Stuttgart.
As an interim successor until the end of the season, Zsolt Löw was presented as the new trainer, Peter Krawietz will be his assistant.
“Zsolt Löw brings everything to bring about a trend reversal and a clear boost: extraordinarily a lot of experience, extremely successful work with top European clubs and the right address. Last but not least, the team is now a duty to tear around with Zsolt.
