RB Leipzig will probably part with Marco Rose in summer at the latest. Behind the scenes, the Saxons are preparing for a change of coach, which Red Bull’s football boss Jürgen Klopp will have a significant influence. The BVB icon has already made a first decision: Erik Ten HAG will not take over on the Cottaweg.
According to agreed media reports, it is only a matter of time before RB Leipzig will separate from head coach Marco Rose. The goal of the red bulls is to finish the season with the native of Leipziger. However, a separation before the end of the season is also conceivable if the results are not better.
According to “Sky”, the Saxons deal with three potential alternatives to the former BVB coach. Sebastian Hoeneß should continue to be at the top of the wish list. In addition to the current VfB chief coach, Roger Schmidt and Oliver Glasner are also under discussion at RB Leipzig.
RB Leipzig: Jürgen Klopp has “incredible influence”
A candidate was also apparently also Erik Ten Hag, who was put at the door at Manchester United in December. According to “Sky”, however, Jürgen Klopp decided that the Dutchman will not get the possibly vacant positions with the Bundesliga club. The RB soccer chief has developed a “clear requirement profile” for the Rose successor.
The former trainer of the FC Bayern’s second representative does not meet this, which is why he was canceled from the list of possible coaching candidates. As a “Head of Global Soccer” at Red Bull, Klopp has an “incredible influence” on the sporting future and the planning on the sidelines, the PAY TV station continues.
The 48-year-old is also one of the driving forces behind that Rose at RB Leipzig did not have to pack his suitcases immediately after the 1-2 defeat against FSV Mainz 05.
