Next RB Leipzig Manager 2025: Matthias Jaissle, Roger Schmidt & Ole Werner Tactics – Tactical Analysis

RB Leipzig are one of the most controversial clubs in German football history.

Founded in 2009, the club bought itself into the Oberliga, the fifth tier of German football.

From then on, Red Bull invested heavily in the club to get it promoted to the Bundesliga.

RB Leipzig have been playing in the Bundesliga since 2016, and with the money that Red Bull has pumped into the club, they have consistently been in the top six ever since.

The clubs philosophy revolves around finding young players and developing them into superstars and then selling them to the biggest clubs in world football, with players like Naby Keita, Dayot Upamecano, Joško Gvardiol, Dominik Szoboszlai or Dani Olmo playing for Leipzig in the last couple of years and getting sold for a lot of money.

This season, however, was a bit of a disaster for RB Leipzig.

While the start to their Bundesliga campaign was rather encouraging, their performances in the UEFA Champions League were atrocious from the start.

They ended their season in European football early with just three points and seven losses out of eight games in the group stage.

After a bad stint in the league, the club decided to let go of their manager, Marco Rose, and hired Zsolt Löw as a replacement until the end of the season.

Under Löw, things did not improve, and RB Leipzig currently sit in seventh place with just one matchday to go.

They are facing the threat of their first season without European football since getting promoted after getting eliminated in the DFB-Pokal as well.
