After nine months, Domenico Tedesco’s head coaching chapter at RB Leipzig has already ended. But the RB problems lie deeper than just the Tedesco approach, which imploded within a few weeks, comments Thomas Kunze.
Eight goals conceded in the last two games against Shaktar Donetsk and Eintracht Frankfurt combined with defensive instability, offensive unimaginativeness and porous mental makeup – the Domenico Tedesco is on leave of absence from RB Leipzig, this Tedes-Ko, is not a surprise that came too early or too late. No, RB CEO Oliver Mintzlaff hit the emergency brake at the right time. However, that is the only thing that has worked so far.
Tedesco’s structure became a football prison
108 days after DFB Cup victory and a second half of the season from another star, coach and team suddenly didn’t fit together anymore. Domenico Tedesco is a coach who loves structure – structure that allows control; That’s why so much possession of the ball, that’s why so little risk, that’s why no RB remmidemmi like in the days of Ralf Rangnick, Ralph Hasenhüttl and Co.
Tedesco’s approach isn’t actually a problem – if the structure doesn’t end up becoming a football prison. But it was for the team. One stranger with the position, the other with the task, the next did not understand what the trainer actually demands.
This team is assembled incorrectly
The right-back position is a good example. To Lukas Klostermann’s failure Benjamin Henrichs, Hugo Novoa, Mohamed Simakan and Amadou Haidara tried their hand there – none of the four is a right-back. Which brings us to the squad and thus outside the coach’s sphere of influence.
This team is assembled incorrectly. The prospect of valuable players with prospects like David Raum or the romantic notion of returning home from Timo Werner have transfigured the view. Chief scout Christopher Vivell and managing director Oliver Mintzlaff have put together a squad that came together late and doesn’t really harmonize – at least not with the idea of the coach who was sent away on Wednesday morning.
It absolutely needs a sports director
To Jesse March So last year Domenico Tedesco: Two early dismissals in two consecutive seasons are no coincidence, but planning errors. And it doesn’t matter whether Marco Rose is doing magic or hesitating against Dortmund, Real Madrid and Borussia Mönchengladbach – first of all, a real sports director with his own competence and real competencies in the office is urgently and imperatively needed. one like Max Eberl even.
