Marco Rose has been able to keep his job at Bundesliga soccer team RB Leipzig for the time being despite the crisis in recent weeks. Now it remains to be seen when the Saxons will decide on the future of the head coach.
According to “kicker”, RB Leipzig’s head coach Marco Rose will receive a job guarantee until the winter break. There are still three competitive games left before the holidays. In these games, the team should “definitely” be looked after in the current constellation.
Only then will the decision-makers of the ambitious Champions League participant make a decision about what happens next in the coaching bench. According to the trade journal, the team around sports director Marcel Schäfer will use the time during the break to carry out a detailed analysis of the last few months.
Tough remaining program for RB Leipzig
For now, Marco Rose has managed the turnaround. After five defeats and one draw in six competitive games in a row, RB Leipzig recently achieved a major breakthrough in the DFB Cup. The Red Bulls defeated the in-form Frankfurt Eintracht 3-0 (1-0) in the round of 16, followed by a 2-0 away win at Holstein Kiel on the last Bundesliga matchday.
However, the three remaining games in 2024 are tough for Rose and his team: First, a win is mandatory in the home game in the Champions League against Aston Villa (Tuesday, 9:00 p.m.) if Leipzig is to have any remaining hope of one Playoffs participation pass. This is followed by the league duels against Eintracht Frankfurt (December 15th) and FC Bayern (December 20th).
Regardless of Rose’s future, the issue of injuries should also be examined as part of the half-year analysis. In recent months, numerous muscle injuries have accumulated among players, leaving Rose with hardly any personnel options.
