David Wagner takes over as the young boss: RB Leipzig relies on talent!
Leipzig, Deutschland - rb Leipzig has changed in the management of his young talent. Manuel Baum was released as a young manager because for personal reasons he wanted to settle the office after two years. Baum returns to FC Augsburg to take over the position as head of the youth performance center. His successor becomes David Wagner, who has a remarkable career in German football at the age of 53 and became known as a Bundesliga coach of Schalke 04.
Wagner, who has already proven itself in the youth area, trained TSG Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund. In Leipzig, he will focus primarily on promoting his own talents and integrating them into the first team. This is particularly important for the club to remain competitive in the Bundesliga. His experience also includes a career in the UK, where he led Huddersfield Town to the Premier League, as well as stations at the Young Boys Bern and Norwich City after separating from Schalke in 2020. The good relationship between Wagner and Jürgen Klopp is particularly remarkable, with whom he performed together at the Wings Cup in Leipzig.
Schalke's recent successes
The defeat had far -reaching consequences for RB Leipzig, as they fell back to second place in the Bundesliga, while Bayern Munich defeated Paderborn. Marcel Sabitzer also missed the chance of an earlier goal when he only scored the crossbar, while Schalke's goalkeeper Alexander Nubel thwarted the score of Forsberg and Sabitzer twice with a spectacular double parade.
The obligation of Wagner in Leipzig represents a reversal of the situation that was followed three years ago due to his dismissal at Schalke from Baum. With his expertise and the focus on the youth, Wagner could create the basis for making even more talented players emerge from the youth performance center in the future.
