RB Leizig fires Marco Rose: Why was the manager sacked before DFB Pokal semifinal?

Dortmund and Union win while Leipzig axe Rose, hire Low

There were wins for Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin in the Bundesliga while RB Leipzig sacked Marco Rose as coach and appointed Zoltan Low.

German football club RB Leipzig officially appointed Zsolt Löw as head coach on Sunday afternoon. The Hungarian coach told M4 Sport that the main goal is to finish in one of the Champions League qualifying spots at the end of the season.

The game at Borussia Mönchengladbach was the last for Marco Rose as coach of RB Leipzig. One day after the 0:1 defeat, the club separated from Rose. Zsolt Löw takes over until the end of the season.

The RB Leipzig decided this Sunday to entrust the reins of its team to Zsolt Löw for the end of the season, after removing coach Marco Rose and part of his staff, the day after a defeat at Mönchengladbach (1-0).

Three days before the trophy semi-final in Stuttgart, RB Leipzig fires his last luckless head coach Marco Rose – and thus dispenses with his only figure with local colour. Zsolt Löw is supposed to replace Rose by summer.
