RB Leipzig has parted ways with coach Ole Werner. The 38-year-old was only in office since July 2025 and led the team back into the Champions League.

What happened?

Ole Werner was relieved of his duties on Wednesday. The club announced that after an intensive analysis of the past season, they had decided to reappoint the position of head coach.

Why was Werner fired?

The reasons for the separation are manifold. Werner had led the team back into the Champions League, but the results against smaller teams were often inconsistent. There were also reports of content-related concerns and questionable communication.

Who comes as a successor?

The Argentinian Martin Demichelis is being traded as a possible successor. Demichelis already has experience as a coach in Europe and led River Plate to the championship in Argentina in 2023.
