OFFICIAL: RB Leipzig part ways with head coach Jesse Marsch
RB Leipzig have announced that Jesse Marsch is no longer the head coach of the Bundesliga side.
"RB Leipzig and head coach Jesse Marsch have mutually agreed to part ways. The decision is the result of an in-depth analysis and intensive discussions after the Bundesliga match against Union Berlin," the official statement says.
"Jesse Marsch will be released with immediate effect and assistant coach Achim Beierlorzer will take charge of the team ahead of the upcoming home game against Manchester City. A successor for Jesse Marsch will be announced in the near future."
