Discussion: Leipzig Engaging in Talks with Jaissle for Potential Managerial Role - Leipzig's Potential New Coach: Jaissle Discussed for Possible Role
Title: Matthias Jaissle, the Young Gun in Talks for Leipzig's Vacant Head Coach Spot
Hey there! Guess who's caught the eye of RB Leipzig? That's right - Matthias Jaissle, the up-and-coming German coach currently coaching Al-Ahly in Saudi Arabia.
While Leipzig appears to be on the brink of agreeing with current Werder Bremen coach Ole Werner, a hefty gap in their compensation package discussions could complicate matters. As per reports in magazines like "Kicker" and TV broadcaster Sky, Leipzig is now eyeing Jaissle.
This 37-year-old coach cut his teeth in Austria, leading Red Bull Salzburg as head coach, earning praise for his tactical prowess and youth management skills. But, interestingly, there's no record of Jaissle coaching RB Leipzig or any team in the Bundesliga as of now.
Post Marco Rose's departure, Leipzig recruited Zsolt Löw as interim coach for the season's remainder. With Ole Werner not renewing his contract with Bremen and subsequently being released, he's now available for Leipzig, given the club won't be participating in the Europa League next season due to a less-than-stellar campaign.
Now, it's worth knowing that Jaissle is a man on the move. Following impressive stints at RB Salzburg, he rocked up in Saudi Arabia to coach Al-Ahli, pocketing a reported £9.6 million salary per year. His superb performance earned him the "Best Coach of the Season" award in Saudi Pro League's May 2025 season.
To wrap it up, Jaissle is a German coach marked by a remarkable run at RB Salzburg and a recent success story with Al-Ahli - impressive credentials, but a newcomer to the Bundesliga scene. His journey is definitely one to keep an eye on, as he explores fresh challenges in the world of football!
- Matthias Jaissle, despite his notable success in Austrian leagues with Red Bull Salzburg and Saudi Pro League with Al-Ahly, has yet to coach any team in the EC countries' football leagues, specifically in the Bundesliga.
- As sports enthusiasts follow the potential head coach move of Matthias Jaissle to RB Leipzig, one cannot help but wonder if his tactical skills and youth development strategies, proven in sports leagues such as the Saudi Pro League and European-leagues like Austria's Bundesliga, could lead to a successful career in the Bundesliga.
