RB Leipzig introduces Ole Werner: New start with a fresh squad!

Leipzig, Deutschland - In an exciting turn, RB Leipzig has committed Ole Werner as a new trainer today. The 37-year-old succeeds a predecessor that has not yet been mentioned and will lead the fortunes of the club together with sports manager Marcel Schäfer (41). This decision comes in a phase in which the squad is subjected to profound changes. New faces are Ezechiel Banzuzi (Oh Leuven) and Max Finkgräfe (Cologne), who are supposed to bring a breath of fresh air to Leipzigers. RB Leipzig is planning with a squad of 22 field players and three goalkeepers, whereby two to three young players are to be integrated, such as Bild

An important aspect of current squad planning is the goalkeeper situation. Peter Gulacsi (35) and Maarten Vandevoordt (23) are a head-to-head race around the number one position, while Leopold Zingerle (31) is planned as number three. Whether Janis Blaswich (34) still remains depends on the decision of Gulacsi’s. In the defense area, the association is desperately looking for a right central defender, while El Chadaille Betshiabu (20) and Castello Lukeba (22) duel for a place in the left defense. A possible departure from Lukas Klostermann could also save over 20 million euros in salary, which would help RB Leipzig with the desired reduction in salary costs by 20 percent.

Change of coach and its effects

The change of coach is often a sensitive topic in football. Some believe it brings a breath of fresh air while others are skeptical. Scientfish studies show that about half of the change of coaches actually lead to an increase in performance, while the other half does not offer any clear results. Sebastian Zart from the TU Kaiserslautern and his colleague Arne Gülllich examined around 4,000 games and 150 change of coach. Their results show that the team's performance often improves at short notice, which is related to the absence of performance -lowering factors of the previous trainer. So a new coach can dissolve dissatisfaction in the team who have previously negatively influenced the game, such as 90min , new players for the offensive.

remains to be seen how Ole Werner can shape the team. He has always proven a good hand, and the support of the club will be crucial to achieve the goals set. Leipzig's defensive, the offensive and the goalkeeper position now depend on his decisions and its leadership skills.
