RB Leipzig: Kaiser remains, Werner comes - the start of the season against Bavaria!

On June 27, 2025, the German Football League presented the schedule for the upcoming Bundesliga season 2025/26. RB Leipzig starts on August 22nd with a competitive away game against FC Bayern Munich. The encounter is kicked off at 8:30 p.m. A hard piece of work, especially since the last game in the Allianz Arena ended with a 1: 5 view from Leipzig, lets the fans look forward to the start of the season. LVZ reports that…

Another reason to joy: RB Leipzig has extended the contract with club icon Dominik Kaiser by 2027. Kaiser, who has headed the club's Career Center since July 1, 2023, remains officially connected to the club. It seems as if the club management has a good sense of continuity and wants to strengthen the team spirit.

new trainer and fresh wind

But that's not all, because Ole Werner becomes the new trainer of RB Leipzig. After Marco Rose was dismissed at the end of March, the association was looking for a new impulse on the sidelines. Werner, who previously worked at Holstein Kiel and Werder Bremen, signed a two -year contract. The 37-year-old has made a name for himself as a young and ambitious trainer and brings a breath of fresh air to the RB Arena. Bundesliga.com reports that…

Ralf Rangnick, who comes back into conversation as a sports director, is exciting by the considerations of Hertha BSC, since the fans of RB Leipzig hope for a clear philosophy and continuous development that Werner could embody. He will play his first competitive games in the DFB Cup against SV Sandhausen, which is held between August 15 and 18. Transfer market provides further information on this.

Personnel changes in the association

The transfer window not only brings new faces, but also some departures. Dr. Percy Marshall, who has been a club doctor since 2018, leaves Leipzig to probably try his luck in the Premier League. The young structures are also not unaffected; Jonathan Norbye is borrowed to Arminia Bielefeld in the 2nd Bundesliga, while Leon Koß changes to the second team of SC Freiburg. In addition, Timo Schlieck and Fernando Dickes have decided to temporarily or permanently leave the club in the direction of Fürth and Hamburg.

In these active times, a record year in the 2023/24 financial year also causes a stir, even if the liabilities have increased. With a view to the youth department, a small damper remains, because the U17 from RB Leipzig missed the championship title and had to give up in the Borussia Mönchengladbach final. On the other hand, Talente, Castello Lukeba, was happy about the nomination for the U21 national team in France, which is in the semi-finals of the UEFA U21 European Championship.

summarized the characters at RB Leipzig are on a fresh start and fresh rain! The fans can be excited to see how the changes will affect the coming season.
