RB Leipzig have parted ways with head coach Marco Rose.
The 48-year-old had been at the helm of the Red Bull Arena since September 2022, but had a challenging third season.
RB Leipzig’s early exit from the Champions League group stage, with just one win in eight games, and their current struggle to secure qualification for the next season’s competition were key factors in his dismissal.
The recent 1-0 defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach saw RB Leipzig drop to seventh in the Bundesliga standings.
Reacting to the decision, the club’s sports director, Marcel Schafer, said: “We believed in the partnership with Marco and his team for a very long time and tried everything until the very end to turn things around together.
“However, given the current situation and the lack of results, we are firmly convinced that we need a new impetus for the remaining games to achieve our season goals.
“We would like to thank Marco and his coaching team for the last two and a half years, the shared successes, and their dedication to our club.”
The club will announce an interim head coaching appointment until the end of the season in the coming days.
