Former Manchester United manager, Erik Ten Hag, is under consideration by the Bundesliga club RB Leipzig as a potential replacement for current manager Marco Rose, who is facing immense pressure following a series of disappointing performances.
Under Rose’s leadership, Leipzig has struggled significantly, having lost five out of their last six matches across all competitions, which has raised concerns among club officials and fans alike.
The situation reached a new low this past weekend when Leipzig suffered a staggering 5-1 defeat at home against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga.
Despite currently occupying fourth place in the league table, the club’s recent form indicates that a turnaround is urgently needed if Rose hopes to retain his position. The mounting speculation suggests that Rose could be dismissed if results do not improve soon.
In addition to Ten Hag, former Benfica manager Roger Schmidt is also reportedly in the running for the RB Leipzig role, according to Sky Germany.
Schmidt parted ways with Benfica at the end of August and is seen as another viable candidate to lead the team during this tumultuous period.
Note that Ten Hag’s previous tenure at Manchester United ended in October due to a poor start to his third season at the club. He was subsequently succeeded by Ruben Amorim, who transitioned from his role at Sporting Lisbon to take on the challenge at Old Trafford.
