Roger Schmidt will not succeed head coach Jesse Marsch, who was given leave of absence at RB Leipzig on Sunday.
The RB management’s preferred candidate around managing director Oliver Mintzlaff instead wants to fulfil his contract at PSV Eindhoven, which runs until the end of the season. The club is currently in third place in the Eredivisie, two points behind leaders Ajax Amsterdam. In addition, Real Sociedad San Sebastian will play their decisive group match in the Europa League on Thursday.
Domenico Tedesco, who is out of contract, and Edin Terzic, who is employed by Borussia Dortmund as technical director, are considered possible candidates. In Tuesday’s Champions League match against Manchester City, Marsch’s current assistant Achim Beierlorzer is expected to lead the team. However, the Frenchman, who like Marsch was absent from Friday’s 2-1 defeat at Union Berlin due to a positive coronation test, has yet to “clear his mind” for this.
