Former Leipzig Coach Werner Unhappy After His Surprise Dismissal, Omits Klopp in Letter to Players
The club said new ideas are needed after Werner guided Leipzig to 20 wins and Champions League qualification in 34 Bundesliga matches.
- On Wednesday, RB Leipzig sacked head coach Ole Werner despite the club finishing third in the Bundesliga and qualifying for next season's Champions League, managing director for sport Marcel Schaefer stating the club requires "new ideas" moving forward.
- The 38-year-old Werner arrived last June from Werder Bremen to lead a squad rebuild, recording 20 wins and five draws over 34 rounds—the most points any Leipzig manager has gained in club history.
- In a LinkedIn letter, Werner expressed frustration that the sudden timing prevented him from saying goodbye to players and staff in person, though he described his tenure as a "very positive" experience.

- Leipzig has been linked with Mallorca coach Martin Demichelis as a potential successor, with the club announcing details regarding the new coaching staff will be revealed in due course.
