Bundesliga side RB Leipzig part ways head coach Domenico Tedesco after string of poor results
In a statement, RB Leipzig have confirmed rumours that have parted ways with head coach Domenico Tedesco after a poor start to the 2022/23 season. The German was only permanently appointed in December 2021 and replaced Jesse Marsch at the helm but endured a tough start to the new season.
Ever since they lost Julian Nagelsmann to Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig have struggled to find consistency with the German side failing to appoint the right replacement. An experimental option in Jesse Marsch didn’t quite work out but Domenico Tedesco’s appointment had many hoping that the former Schalke boss would work wonders. The spell started out well as the German led Leipzig to the DFB-Pokal and the Europa League semi-final last term but things haven’t gone to plan this term.
