RB Leipzig are set to appoint Domenico Tedesco as their head coach, following the sacking of Jesse Marsch on Sunday, according to multiple sources.
Having finished runners-up to Bayern Munich last term, Leipzig have endured a highly disappointing 2021-22 campaign so far. At the moment, they sit 11th in the German top flight, and they’ve failed, admittedly in a very difficult group, to qualify for the Champions League round of 16. The moment that caused the bubble to burst for Marsch was the 2-1 defeat away to Union Berlin last week, the team’s third league loss in a row, though his position was shaky even before that.

Having coached at the youth setups at Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, Tedesco had his first job as a first-team manager at German second-tier side FC Erzgebirge Aue, after which he had spells with Schalke 04 and Spartak Moscow, two years each. The 36-year-old has been out of work since May this year.
