Before Manchester City match, RB Leipzig fires coach Jesse Marsch

RB Leipzig announced this Sunday the resignation of American coach Jesse Marsch, after a disappointing start to the season in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

“RB Leipzig and Jesse Marsch have agreed to end their collaboration with immediate effect,” reported the German club through Twitter.

The decision comes after another defeat in the Bundesliga, on Friday, against Union Berlin (1-2), a result that leaves the team in 11th place in the table, 16 points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Until today, RB Leipzig had never fired a coach since their promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016.

In the Champions League, the club occupies the third position in Group A, with no chances of qualifying for the eighth, although it can still guarantee a place in the second phase of the Europa League. The team faces Manchester City next Tuesday, at home.
