Introducing Ole Werner as the fresh leader at RB Leipzig
In the heart of the new football season, German club RB Leipzig is gearing up for their opening match against Italian powerhouse Atalanta BC. This significant event marks the commencement of Leipzig's 2025/26 campaign, and it's taking place on home soil [1].
Atalanta BC, a formidable team based on their impressive performance in last season's Italy National Championship, where they clinched the third spot [2], promises to be a tough opponent. Leipzig's new coach, Ole Werner, will lead his team against the Italian side [3].
Werner's RB Leipzig has had a mixed pre-season leading up to this opener. The team has displayed impressive attacking strength, securing convincing victories against ZFC Meuselwitz (3-0) and Toulouse (7-0) [1]. However, their friendly encounter against Atalanta on August 2, 2025, ended in a 1-2 loss at home, despite Lois Openda scoring an early goal [2][3].
With the Atalanta match likely to be one of their last warm-up fixtures before the competitive season begins, Leipzig fans will be hoping for a stronger performance against RC Lens in their final pre-season game [1]. The team will need to regroup and show resilience against strong opposition to start the new season on a positive note [1][2][3].
Jürgen Klopp, who has taken on a new role as the Head of RB Leipzig, will undoubtedly be closely monitoring the team's progress as they embark on this new chapter [4]. The match against Atalanta BC is poised to set the tone for an exciting 2025/26 season for RB Leipzig.
