Brief Summary
Röhl's experiences as a youth coach at RB Leipzig from 2010 onwards mean he's no stranger to the club's DNA. His coach tenure at FC Bayern Munich and the German national team speak volumes about his expertise[6]. He's currently delivering results as the head coach of Sheffield Wednesday in England.
Is the leap from England to the Bundesliga too drastic for Röhl? Saxony might be presented with the chance for a fresh start given the difficult previous season[4].
Are the summer whispers at RB Leipzig just rumors? With Röhl on the prowl? He remained coy during an interview with "Bild" when asked about any summer contact. However, his interest in a coaching job at the Red Bulls seems to shine bright[7].
Röhl: "Leipzig, the Bundesliga - that's a sleek package that could be something truly special. After all, I've been around since the club's inception, and we started out with just four people in youth development."
Could Timo Werner Make a Return to RB Leipzig Under Danny Röhl?
Currently, Leipzig appears to be leaning towards Jacob Neestrup (37) from FC Copenhagen. But with Cesc Fàbregas (38) as an example, things could change rapidly.
Whether Röhl would suddenly be the top pick then is up for debate. Nonetheless, Röhl's comments on Timo Werner (29) are intriguing.
Despite a rough go at Tottenham Hotspur, Röhl would still field Werner on his team: "Timo possesses weapons such as his speed. He's always had something extraordinary. I believe he simply needs the right environment to truly excel."
