RB Leipzig: Domenico Tedesco takes over

[Tommy]

Now the two clubs have to agree on a transfer fee. 5 or 6 cans of Red Bull?

[nudge]

No surprises there then. 

Thought he did well at Salzburg during his first season there, but then reached his limit and there hasn't been any improvements whatsoever. If anything, they got worse, although that is also directly connected with the worsened quality of the squad. 

Don't think he'll be successful in Leipzig, anyway. (fingers crossed)

And he's about to get sacked. 

Poor guy has been in quarantine for two weeks now or so too. 

[nudge]

That's unfortunate. I was hoping they would stick with him and continue to have an underwhelming season.

[Tommy]

Aaaand he's gone.

According to Kicker, RB want Roger Schmidt as their next head coach.

I saw him a couple of times in Düsseldorf, shopping with his son. Bit unrelated, but it's a story I have to tell.

He slay the dragon in the midst of shopping?

I don't know what that means, but maybe.

I like a good story.

Only the Star but you never know, I am sure I read that Ralf Rangnick said his good friend who worked with him, Jesse Marsch, was now available and he would have to give him a call?

RB Leipzig sack coach sparking talk he'll reunite with Ralf Rangnick at Man Utd

RB Leipzig have sacked manager Jesse Marsch, leaving him open to joining forces once again with Ralf Rangnick, who is searching for a new assistant at Manchester United

RB Leipzig have sacked manager Jesse Marsch, leading to suggestions he could reunite with Ralf Rangnick at Manchester United.

Marsch only took over the Bundesliga club in the summer but has lost his job after an underwhelming start to the season which sees them sat 11th in the table.

With the American now without a job and Rangnick searching for an assistant manager following Michael Carrick's departure, the duo could join forces once more at Old Trafford.

Marsch was the German coach's right hand man at Leipzig for the 2018/19 season, when they finished third with now Chelsea star Timo Werner firing in the goals.

Marsch was in over his head.  I'm sure he's a decent coach but anyone on this forum could win titles with Fizzy Salzburg.

I couldn't. I'd get them relegated.

Yeah, my training regimen of eat first, then kick the ball around for an hour, then eat again probably wouldn't last either.

Roger Schmidt intends, according to Kicker, to fulfill his contract til the end of this season at PSV.  Nice to see there are still managers out there, who respect their contracts and don't jump ship at every opportunity. It's even nicer Leipzig apparently don't get the manager they want, when they want him. Here's still hope they appoint somebody out of their depth in this function.

Just made this into a RB Leipzig thread so I can post this. 

Talk about optimistic.

This will not be helpful as a defense argument in the forum court. The best line of defense would be claiming intoxication, as it is usually considered to be mitigating circumstances by the forum judges.

What about being too sober?
