Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig: Tough battle for coach Ole Werner!
Negotiations between Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig for coach Ole Werner are stalling. Despite mutual agreement on cooperation, there is still no clear progress on the transfer fee. Werder Bremen is asking for an impressive six million euros, whereas Leipzig doesn't want to offer more than three million Dike room reported.
The situation is particularly explosive because the coaching position at Leipzig urgently needs to be filled. The team has lost previous favorite candidates such as Cesc Fabregas and Jacob Neestrup and is now looking for alternatives. In particular, Matthias Jaissle, coach at Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia, is considered a potential replacement. Jaissle, who was once active in Leipzig's junior team, could cut back on his salary, which is up to eleven million euros annually, if he were to be replaced.
Sports management in dialogue
The sporting management of Werder Bremen is pragmatic. Clemens Fritz, the sports director, has reduced the initial transfer fee from the original nine million euros to six million. Leipzig's managing director Marcel Schäfer is expected to speak to Fritz next Sunday after a charity match in the hope of pushing negotiations forward. Yahoo Sports makes it clear that an agreement on the transfer fee is crucial for the future of Werner and his assistants Patrick Kohlmann and Tom Cichon.
There are currently no positive signals and an agreement still seems a long way off. If Leipzig actually has to implement a plan B, the pressure on Werder Bremen could increase. Transfer market also provides an overview of the current coaching changes in the Bundesliga and the situation in the league.
The next few days could be crucial. If talks between the two clubs do not reach a positive conclusion soon, both Ole Werner and RB Leipzig could face an uncertain future. It will be interesting to see how the matter develops further.
