RB Leipzig will only play nationally in the coming season after the missed qualification for Europe. After the flop season, the Saxons are now planning a great personnel removal – with Jürgen Klopp, who was hired in winter, as a string puller.
7th place in the final table of the Bundesliga – RB Leipzig has never been so bad since the promotion in 2015. With the missed international business, the club is also facing the loss of some well -known players this summer.
It is understandable that not only should be turned on smaller adjusting screws, but a greater change is planned, as “Sport Bild” reports. Above all, a new CEO is sought for the Saxons.
Oliver Mintzlaff had moved to the top of the global corporation after the death of Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz at the end of 2022. His position as head of RB Leipzig has been vacant since then. The largely resting search for a successor in the meantime is now being intensified again.
Jürgen Klopp holds the reins in his hand around the sporting company. According to “Sport Bild”, he was one of the central supporters for the commitment of ex-Schalke coach David Wagner as a young manager and Klopp is also said to have chosen Ole Werner as the new head coach.
RB Leipzig: Klopp builds up a big team
While Werner and Leipzig already agree, Werder Bremen is currently still opposing. The Bremeners want a transfer fee for their coached trainer that RB has not yet been paid.
In addition to the position of head coach, RB is also planning to improve the scouting department. Kevin Rangnick, son of the former Leipzig and current Austria coach Ralf Rangnick, remains- but the structures around him are improved, as “Sport Bild” writes.
Accordingly, Red Bull is ready to invest a double -digit million amount in the personnel squad to Jürgen Klopp annually. Even if he is not on the sidelines himself, Klopp has a great influence on the future of RB Leipzig in his current person.
