Leipzig (dpa) – RB Leipzig’s new coach Domenico Tedesco only wants to motivate his team with a special bonus in exceptional cases.
“I think money as an incentive is only ever short-term. For example, for a top game or when there is a lot going on in one game,” said the coach of the Bundesliga club of “Bild”. He himself prefers long-term motivation.
His predecessor Jesse Marsch and club boss Oliver Mintzlaff caused discussions in the first half of the season when they wanted to motivate the team with bonuses for normal games against Freiburg, Fürth and Frankfurt. Ultimately, there was only one victory against Fürth.
Tedesco himself once earned extra money by delivering the newspaper, comes from a simple background. He sees this time as very helpful in the multi-million dollar business of football. “We’re doing really well! We have to keep reminding ourselves: What is our motivation, why do we want to get out of the crisis?” Said the 36-year-old coach in the table tenth. “We have a responsibility to a lot of people, to those responsible who brought you. And to the fans. My stations weren’t in vain Aue, Schalke, Moscow – everything was very warm.”
