Hot News on the Leipzig Coach Race: Jaissle Still a Contender, Werner Deal Looming
Leipzig considering Jaissle for potential coaching role - Leipzig in talks for Jaissle to take up coaching position
Let's get straight to the point! It looks like Matthias Jaissle is still in the running for RB Leipzig's vacant coaching seat, despite Ole Werner seeming to be their prime target. While Leipzig and Bremen's Werner have apparently reached an agreement, a significant divide in release clause negotiations could be a game-changer.
According to current reports from both "Kicker" and Sky television, Leipzig is now also exploring the possibility of landing Jaissle. The 37-year-old strategist is currently coaching Al-Ahly in Saudi Arabia, with a contract that extends through 2026. Previously, Jaissle held the head coach position for Red Bull Salzburg in the RB area.
Leipzig parted ways with Marco Rose and appointed Zsolt Löw as the interim coach until the season's end. With Werder Bremen's Werner confirming he would not renew his contract, which ends next year, he became eligible for Leipzig, who won't be contesting in the Europa League next season following a less-than-stellar campaign.
Surprisingly, there are rumors that Leipzig is interested in several candidates for the role, with Danny Röhl, Roger Schmidt, Matthias Jaissle, and Thomas Frank also on the table. However, Werner remains the preferred choice if they can square away the transfer fee issue.
Recent reports hint at a possible deal with Werner, suggesting that Leipzig may not persist in pursuing Jaissle for the role at this time. Nonetheless, if the situation changes, Jaissle could be a prime contender, especially given his recent success in Saudi Arabia and potential ties to Europe with West Ham United.
