RB Leipzig: Coach Jaissle in conversation – Werner deal is shaky!
On June 18, 2025, RB Leipzig will face crucial development phases, especially in the coaching situation. Matthias Jaissle, who currently coaches Al-Ahly in Saudi Arabia and has a contract until 2026, is considered a possible candidate to succeed Marco Rose. Zsolt Löw took over the role as interim coach until the end of the season, but the search for a long-term coach is in full swing. Ole Werner is considered the top candidate, but there are differences regarding the transfer fee, which amounts to around six million euros. Critics of the current situation note that it does not make business sense to fail on this amount while RB Leipzig continues to look for a coach who is right for the club. If talks with Werner fail, Jaissle could come back into focus, as transfermarkt.de reports.
In the midst of this coaching discussion, the club recently presented the new away kit for the 2025/26 season. In addition, those responsible have identified record sales, but also record debts for the 2023/24 financial year - a situation that requires wise handling of finances and makes the awarding of a new coaching contract little by little more complex. Finally, further steps were taken to develop the squad, including the signing of Andrea Norheim, a Champions League winner from Sporting Lisbon.
Financial issues and coaching decisions
The discussion about the coaching situation goes hand in hand with financial considerations. It is being discussed why Leipzig should be prepared not to pay the required six million euros for Werner. Due to the high debt burden, the club seems to be looking for a new coach on more favorable terms. In recent years, the awarding of coaching contracts has increasingly been assessed from the perspective of costs and benefits. Now the question is what consequences the search for a coach will have on Werner's career and how a new coach will be received at RB Leipzig. These considerations underline the club's challenging position during squad planning for the coming season.
The pressure to find not only a successful sporting strategy but also financial orientation could increase in the next few weeks. The fans and the public expect clear decisions and results. The coaching issue remains exciting and could be crucial for the future of RB Leipzig.
