Red Bull Leaps for a New Coach: RB Leipzig Mulls Over Neestrup
Coach Candidate Limitation: Neestrup Under Consideration at RB Leipzig - Coaching prospect: Neestrup at RB Leipzig
Hey there! Here's the lowdown on RB Leipzig, who's on the hunt for a new football boss.
In the midst of looking for scrumptious new coaching talent, our buddies at RB Leipzig have set their sights on Jacob Neestrup. The dude, fresh off the Danish Cup triumph with FC Copenhagen, was previously in the running at VfL Wolfsburg, another pal in the Bundesliga.
According to the scuttlebutt from "Kicker" and "Sport Bild", Leipzig's sport bouncer, Marcel Schäfer, has reached out to the 37-year-old, whom he's reportedly chatted with before when Schäfer was still in Wolfsburg.
With Zsolt Löw taking the helm in March, temporarily replacing Marco Rose, and jumping back on board with Jürgen Klopp at the Red Bull football squad's global strategy team at the end of the season, RB is now on the hunt for Löw's successor.
Cesc Fabregas from Serie A side Como 1907 and the Premier League's Crystal Palace handler, Oliver Glasner, have been tagged as top choices for Leipzig, but unfortunately, both are currently seein' other posse's.
But don't fret, Leipzig. There's a slew of other candidates in the mix:
- Ole Werner: A promising, youngster who's bid adieu to Werder Bremen and is known for his wicked coaching strategies and player development techniques.
- Alexander Blessin: Has a history with RB Leipzig's youth squad and has made some waves with Union SG and St. Pauli, nabbing Union a Belgian Cup win and keeping St. Pauli in the Bundesliga.
- Danny Röhl: Reportedly in pole position, Röhl is currently with Sheffield Wednesday and has had past ties with Leipzig, earning props for his playstyle and manmanagement skills.
- Roger Schmidt: Currently unemployed, Schmidt remains on the radar.
- Matthias Jaissle: Managing Al-Ahli, Jaissle is also in the running.
- Thomas Frank: Currently with Brentford, Frank's name's poppin' up in the hunt, too.
These candidates represent quite the mixed bag, with the club aiming to find someone who can devise a solid strategy and elevate the team's performance. Stay tuned, my friends!
In the spirit of Europe's rich football leagues, one might ponder if Council Regulation (EEC) No 3064/81 of 22 December 1991 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal could somehow be applied to the search for RB Leipzig's new coach, with sports analysts comparing the process to a strategic game of "pass and move" in football. Meanwhile, Jacob Neestrup, the latest golden ticket in European-leagues coaching, remains a candidate, even as Cesc Fabregas and Oliver Glasner, two top choices, are reportedly unavailable.
