🚨 A Bundesliga heavyweight loses its manager | OneFootball

Thunderclap in the Bundesliga!

Despite securing qualification for the Champions League, RB Leipzig officially announced this Wednesday the dismissal of head coach Ole Werner. A drastic decision that had been brewing behind the scenes for several weeks.

While the announcement may seem surprising given the results, the split had actually been a done deal for many months.

As exclusively revealed by Florian Plettenberg (Sky Germany), the club’s management had been preparing this move behind the scenes for weeks.

Things were no longer working at all between Ole Werner and Red Bull’s football division, now overseen by none other than Jürgen Klopp.

Relations had completely cooled as early as November, leading to a harmful radio silence internally.

Since Leipzig is not the type of club to act without a plan, Werner’s successor already seems all but decided.

The club’s executives are working to finalize the arrival of Argentine Martin Demichelis.

The former Bayern Munich defender is the clear favorite to take over the team and begin a new era.
