RB Leipzig appoints Ole Werner as their new head coach. - New appointment: Ole Werner assumes coaching role at RB Leipzig
Welcome to the exciting world of football as Ole Werner joins RB Leipzig as their new coach! After a thorough search, the Saxon club has found the perfect man to guide them through both domestic and international soccer battles.
"I am thrilled to be the new head coach of RB Leipzig," Werner shared with the club, as reported on their official website. "The in-depth conversations we've had demonstrated that we share the same vision of football and working together." Leipzig's sporting director, Marcel Schaefer added, "Together, we'll work tirelessly from day one of training to get RB Leipzig back on the path to success."
Werner Pens a Two-Year Deal with RB Leipzig
The 37-year-old Werner, who embarked on his coaching journey at Holstein Kiel, has signed a two-year contract with RB Leipzig, running through 2027. Following lengthy negotiations with Werder Bremen's executives, the appointment marks the conclusion of the process. Amidst the negotiations, Schaefer and Clemens Fritz reached a breakthrough just a few days ago.
Earlier, Werner had expressed his intentions not to renew his contract past the previous season. Yet, his contract would have remained valid until the end of June this year. In light of this, Werder Bremen quickly terminated Werner's contract.
With Marco Rose departing at the end of March, Werner faces a formidable task at Leipzig. Zsolt Low acted as the interim coach, but he was known to return to his role as a chief strategist under Red Bull’s global football chief, Jürgen Klopp, following his temporary stint.

Klopp had to navigate a maze of decisions in his initial phase at RB Leipzig. Interestingly, Werner wasn't a hard sell, but numerous other names floated around: Cesc Fabregas (Como), Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace), Roger Schmidt (Benfica Lisbon), and Sandro Wagner (FC Augsburg).
Even Davide Ancelotti, son and co-trainer of Carlo Ancelotti (currently Brazil’s national coach), was among the candidates. Eventually, the Dane Jacob Neestrup from FC Copenhagen was ruled out because the Danes refused to grant the coach permission for early contract termination.
Schaefer hadn't wasted any time announcing his desire for a fresh start and personnel overhaul after the end of the season, as seventh place doesn't cut it, and the RB philosophy seemed absent. Keep a close eye on how the Leipzig roster will evolve, as some long-time RB players remain on the roster.
