Werder Boss Werner Steps Away from Hefty Replacement Job Requirement: Werner shifts to RB Leipzig Coach Position
Waggin' On Werner: Here's the Scoop on RB Leipzig's Hot New Coach
Listen up, folks! Things are heating up at RB Leipzig as they seem to have locked down their next coach - none other than Ole Werner, the 37-year-old tactician who's been up to all sorts of good stuff at Werder Bremen. According to the grapevine, an agreement has been reached, and all that's left is for the ink to dry.
Werner's time at Bremen has come to an end, with the amicable departure opening the door for him to emerge as Zsolt Löw's successor in Leipzig. It's a big move for both sides. Werder Bremen has already brought in Horst Steffen, and Leipzig, having missed out on European football and finishing in the seventh spot, are clearly aiming to shake things up.
Bye-Bye Bonus, Hey-Hey Compensation
Sources suggest that Bremen won't be raking in a mega fortune from Werner's departure. The compensation promised is rumored to be less than €3 million, but they'll still get a bonus if certain conditions are met. Initially, Bremen had been asking for more than €5 million, but it seems they've had to dial it back. In the grand scheme of things, that's a pretty decent chunk of change, right?
Not only will Bremen get a bit of pocket change, but they'll also save over a million euros in salary payments. That's some sweet relief for their coffers! On the other side, Leipzig is eager to get things moving as they've got their sights set on the 11th of July for pre-season preparations. Officially, they'll hit the training ground on the 14th.
A Changing of the Guard, Them to Us, Us to Them
While Werner takes center stage in this swapping spectacle, there's another twist to the story. Leipzig is said to be shipping an 18-year-old defensive prodigy, Noah Weißbach, down to Bremen. Leaving Leipzig behind, Weißbach will likely find himself rolling with Werder Bremen's reserve team in the Regionalliga. It's all part of a collaborative move between the clubs as Leipzig sets its sights on a fresh start under Werner's command.
But it doesn't stop there. It's no secret that RB Leipzig has its eyes on some serious signings to bolster their squad. They're eyeing up a potential €30 million deal for center-back Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia, plus advanced talks are currently underway for Celtic winger Nicolas Kühn and Rômulo, a striker from Göztepe. Stay tuned, folks – things are shaping up to be a wild ride!
