The new trainer of RB Leipzig is not yet fixed. RB soccer boss Jürgen Klopp advertises the desired candidate.
The coaching search at RB Leipzig has not yet been completed. One name attracts special attention: CESC Fàbregas. The former world-class player and today’s coach is currently under contract with the Italian first division team Como-and despite ongoing discussions with his club, a candidate in Leipzig remains.
According to information from “Bild” and “Sportbild”, Jürgen Klopp has now also intervened in the talks. The global chief of football at the Red Bull Group is said to have met with Fàbregas and sought personal exchange.
Bayer Leverkusen, where Erik Ten Hag has now been presented as the successor to Xabi Alonso, CESC Fàbregas is said to have canceled according to the reports. However, a decision in Leipzig has not yet been made. Apparently the 38-year-old is currently talking to Como about a possible contract extension. He is also a shareholder at the association.
If Fàbregas decides against Leipzig, Oliver Glasner is the next desired candidate. The Austrian recently won the FA Cup with Crystal Palace-a strong argument for the 49-year-old.
RB Leipzig had separated from coach Marco Rose at the end of March. Even under interim coach Zsolt Löw, the club did not make a sporting change. Seventh place in the Bundesliga meant the first mission of an international competition since the ascent. Löw is now returning to Klopp and again takes on tasks in the group’s global strategy team.
