RB Leipzig is facing changes after Julian Nagelsmann terminated his contract with the DFB. The 38-year-old was under pressure after the disappointing World Cup exit.

What happens next?

The DFB is already looking for a successor and Jürgen Klopp is considered the top candidate. The successful coach of Liverpool and Dortmund is expected to revive German football.

What is the situation at RB Leipzig?

RB Leipzig is currently third in the Bundesliga with 65 points, 20 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses from 34 games. The team has scored 66 goals and conceded 47 this season, resulting in a positive goal difference of +19.

What does this mean for RB Leipzig?

If Jürgen Klopp takes over as national team coach, it could also have implications for RB Leipzig. Klopp has been Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull for a year, making him the top football chief for all clubs in the group, including RB Leipzig.

How will the coaching carousel continue?

The coaching carousel will certainly keep turning. Whether Klopp will join the DFB and leave RB Leipzig will be seen. The first international match of the German team after the World Cup will take place on September 24 in the Netherlands. RB Leipzig has recently lost two games in a row, most recently against SC Freiburg with a score of 4-1 on May 16, 2026.
