The club said in a statement on Sunday that RB Leipzig launched coach Marco Rose, days after a semi -final clash of the German Cup in Stuttgart. Jurgen Klopp, head of football in the parent company Red Bull, was not named in the statement, and he previously said that he will not interfere as a coach, whether on a permanent or temporary basis. Leipzig slipped to sixth place in the table after losing on Saturday 1-0 in Borussia Minchinchidbach, the sixth game in a row without victory. Saxony Club is three points away in the center in the first four places and the Champions League qualified for the next season. They are facing a narrow battle for the remaining two places, as the Bayern Munich league leaders and the defense of Bayer Leverkusen confirmed all of them in the next season competition.
Rose, born in Leipzig, in September 2022 and led them to a victory in the German Cup in his first responsible season, along with third place in the league.
The club also won DFL Supercup, equivalent to the charitable shield in England, by beating 3-0 against Bayern Munich at the beginning of the 2023-24 season.
Last season, Leipzig finished fourth, as Germany gave five positions in the Champions League due to European Football Association’s transactions.
“We have believed in Marco and his team for a very long time and we tried everything to the end to turn things together,” sports director Marcel Shaver said in a statement.
“However, given the current situation and lack of results, we are strongly convinced that we need a new impetus for the remaining games to achieve our goals this season.”
Thank you for his time in the club, but the coach was not transferred in the statement. The remainder of his team was also rejected.
He was the 48 -year -old, who was previously trained by Red Paul Salzburg, Borussia Mindchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund, under a contract until June 2026.
In addition to the faltering league shape, seven games of eight games in the Champions League this season may have failed to qualify for the knockout stages.
The German Cup winners are traveling twice to Stuttgart to play in the semi -finals of the competition on Wednesday.
Leipzig, owned by Red Bull since 2009, has been absent in the Champions League once since the 2016/2017 campaign in the Bundesliga and made it to the semi -finals of the competition in 2020.
Leipzig said that a successor will be named after “shortly.”
