Is Ole Werner the new RB Leipzig coach? Talks intensified!

Leipzig, Deutschland - rb Leipzig is looking for a new trainer - and the clock ticks. The club has been looking for a suitable candidate for ten weeks after the last attempt with Jacob Neestrup from FC Copenhagen failed. In this context, Ole Werner, the former coach of Werder Bremen, is becoming more and more the focus of the Saxon Bundesliga club. As 90min reports, Werder Bremen demands a transfer fee of around 9 million euros, since Werner's contract runs by 2026 and contains a corresponding exit clause. However, RB Leipzig's sports management team is hesitant to pay such a sum for a exempted trainer.

The challenge of reaching an agreement could prove to be easier than with other candidates. Trainers such as CESC Fabregas and Oliver Glasner, to whom Leipzig also an eye on Leipzig, can hardly be reached for the club. Both coaches have clearly known to their current clubs, whereby Glasner wants to stay with Crystal Palace and Fabregas, who played a strong season in Serie A, does not want to lose.

alternatives on the list

The trainer position at RB Leipzig is considered particularly attractive, but there are other options in addition to Werner. Alexander Blessin, who worked successfully at FC St. Pauli and previously worked as a youth coach at RB Leipzig, is also traded as an alternative. Even if those responsible are interested in Werner, the final decision is still pending, and the search for a suitable solution continues.

The coming days could be crucial for the coaching question at RB Leipzig. In the middle of this uncertainty, Ole Werner remains a hot option, even if the financial framework for an obligation remains complicated.
