From Oliver Glasner to Roger Schmidt to Alexander Blessin: Hardly a day goes by, on which another coaching candidate at RB Leipzig is thrown into the ring. The latest name is the most prominent: CESC Fàbregas from Como 1907. According to the “Leipziger Volkszeitung“Also on the list of RB managers. He is even a hot candidate.
Finally, it was said that an RB past was an important point in the Leipziger coaching search. Fàbregas cannot show it, but there is still a connection. With Como share of Thierry Henry, the Spaniard was on the pitch in 100 games for FC Arsenal, and the Frenchman has had good contacts with RB boss Oliver Mintzlaff since his time at the New York Red Bulls. He even wanted to bring him to Leipzig three years ago.
Fàbregas was promoted from Como in 1907 before the current season and a year after his end of his career as a player from the assistant to head coach. Under the 37-year-old, the Serie-A promoted team won an average of 1.03 points in 32 games. With 33 points, Como has as table-13. Seven game days before the end of the season, a calming lead of nine points on the relegation ranks.
Fàbregas is an innovative trainer with great ambitions and is loved by his team, describes Jatin Dietl, Area Manager Italy at the transfer market. “He has a lot of fresh ideas and is very much appreciated by the club and the fans. In the otherwise rather result -oriented Italian football it is not easy for a coach, in a team that is fighting to let risk stays playing football. But Como has also been 100 percent behind him in difficult phase. The planning is actually in the long term. In the long run, he could still achieve a lot with Como.
The RB profile-let offensive and worth seeing football and raise young talents to a new market value level-would basically meet Fàbregas. Leipzig has not yet commented on the numerous coaching candidates. We are looking for a new coach for the coming season. Marco Rose had had to take his hat at the end of March, as a temporary solution, Zsolt Löw from his post as Head of Soccer Development by Red Bull and to work by Jürgen Klopp to Leipzig. According to the head of sports Marcel Schäfer, the final decision will make.
