RB Leipzig confirm of parting ways with Jesse Marsch after five months
In a statement, RB Leipzig have confirmed the rumours that they have sacked head coach Jesse Marsch after five months in charge of the side following a defeat to Union Berlin. The Bundesliga side have endured a tough time this season, standing 11th in the Bundesliga, five points off the top four.
After Julian Nagelsmann left at the end of the 2020/21 season, many expected RB Leipzig to endure a tough time finding a replacement. But the Bundesliga side appointed RB Salzburg head coach Jesse Marsch as his replacement, although the American wasnât the top choice for the job. That soon showcased why with Leipzig struggling to maintain consistency in both the league and the Champions League. However, a run of three consecutive defeats in the league, including a 2-1 loss to Union Berlin, was the last straw with rumours indicating that Marsch had lost his job.
Leipzig have now confirmed the rumours and revealed that they have parted ways with Jesse Marsch, with the statement revealing a âmutually agreedâ departure. The statement also confirmed that this was on the back of the defeat to Union Berlin with assistant coach Achim Beierlorzer taking over the reigns in the interim.
âRB Leipzig and head coach Jesse Marsch have mutually agreed to end the cooperation. That is the result of an in-depth analysis and intensive discussions after the Bundesliga away game against Union Berlin,â reads the statement on Leipzigâs website.
âJesse Marsch will be released with immediate effect, assistant coach Achim Beierlorzer will prepare the team for the upcoming home game against Manchester City and sit on the bench for the important game. A successor solution for Jesse Marsch will be presented shortly.â
RB Leipzigâs CEO Oliver Mintzlaff had a lot to say about Marsch and thanked the American for what he has done for the club. However, he also admitted that the decision had to be taken as the âdesired developmentâ they wanted wasnât taking place with them failing to achieve their âseason goalsâ.
âThe separation from Jesse Marsch was not easy for us, because I really appreciate Jesse as a person and as a trainer. It is a shame that it did not work out as hoped in this constellation and that this step has now become necessary because unfortunately the desired development and thus the necessary results for our season goals have not materialized,â Mintzlaff told the clubâs official website.
âWe are currently following our own standards and now want to set a new impetus with this decision. Regardless of that, however, I now also see our players' duty and expect our team, which is very strong in terms of sport, to tap their potential and quality on the pitch more consistently than before.Â
âI would like to express my thanks to Jesse Marsch for the work he has done and I wish him all the best, both personally and professionally,â he added.Â
& Chef-Coach Jesse haben sich einvernehmlich verstÀndigt, die Zusammenarbeit mit sofortiger Wirkung zu beenden.
