RB Leipzig has dismissed head coach Domenico Tedesco in the wake of their 4-1 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League. Die Roten Bullen announced the decision to part ways with the 36-year-old the morning after that game, which followed a 4-0 defeat. The Italian Domenico Tedesco has been dismissed as coach of RB Leipzig this Wednesday, after the German team’s opening defeat in the Champions League by 1-4 against Shakhtar Donetsk at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, as reported by the club in a statement.
“RB Leipzig releases coach Domenico Tedesco with immediate effect. That is the result of an in-depth analysis following Tuesday night’s 1-4 Champions League home loss to Shakhtar Donetsk,” the Saxon team announced. In addition, Andreas Hinkel and Max Urwantschky, Tedesco’s assistants on the Leipzig bench, were dismissed. The German team will provide “timely information” about who will be his substitute.
The German team is competing in the Champions League in Group F, alongside the defending champions Real Madrid, Scotland's Celtic, and Ukraine's Shakhtar. Leipzig achieved only one victory in the German League after 5 rounds, with two draws and two losses.
