Roger Schmidt, who left Benfica in the summer, will be at the top of RB Leipzig’s list when, in the not too distant future, Marco Rose is fired. What was referred to as a game of fate on Saturday did not go the German manager’s way. RB Leipzig lost 1 – 5 against Wolfsburg.
The problem for RB Leipzig is Roger Schmidt’s desire to have the summer off, and he is not a fan of taking over a club in the middle of the season.

RB Leipzig are nine points behind first place in the Bundesliga and are without a win in the Champions League phase this autumn.
The start of the season is considered substandard. Sky Sports reports that Marco Rose will be fired if he fails to reverse the negative trend.
Roger Schmidt is highlighted as a top candidate. But the 57-year-old, who has left Benfica, currently has no plans to take over a new club before the summer. It will take “a lot” to convince him, reports Sky.
Before anything, it is up to Marco Rose to reverse the trend. – The first opportunity for that is Saturday away at Holstein-Stadion against Holstein Kiel, who are second to last in the Bundesliga.
First of all, it remains to be seen what RB Leipzig choose to do with Marco Rose, who is under contract until 2026.
