RB Leipzig Explores New Coaching Options: Cesc Fabregas and More

RB Leipzig is considering several candidates to replace Marco Rose, including Cesc Fabregas, Oliver Glasner, and Roger Schmidt.

Cesc Fabregas is being considered by RB Leipzig as a potential candidate for their new head coach position. The Spanish midfielder, who played for Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, and Monaco, is currently leading Serie A club Como 1907.

Fabregas' connection to Thierry Henry, his former teammate, might be an advantage in the talks, as Henry maintains close relationships with RB Leipzig's supervisory board chairman Oliver Mintzlaff. This potential link could put Fabregas on Leipzig's radar for the upcoming season.

As the current coach of Como 1907, Fabregas has expressed his ambition to become a top-tier manager, potentially in the Premier League or Champions League. However, he emphasizes the importance of respecting the process and taking things step by step, focusing on his current role and helping Como achieve their goals.

Fabregas' impressive work at Como has drawn attention from other top clubs, including Manchester City, Barcelona, Inter Milan, and AC Milan. His ability to adapt to new environments and his understanding of English football, gained from playing for Arsenal and Chelsea, make him an attractive candidate for these clubs.

The list of candidates who could succeed Marco Rose and interim coach Zsolt Low is growing. Possible options include Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace), Roger Schmidt (currently unassociated), Danny Rohl (Sheffield Wednesday), Alexander Blessin (St. Pauli), and Matthias Jaissle, who is currently working in Saudi Arabia.

Zsolt Low had already announced that he couldn't envision a long-term commitment as head coach, paving the way for a new permanent appointment.
