Former Leipzig coach Ole Werner says he is unhappy about his surprise dismissal and that he was not given a chance to say goodbye to staff. Werner and his assistant coaches Tom Cichon and Patrick Kohlmann are dismissed by the club on Wednesday. Multiple reports describe Werner’s debut season as successful, with Leipzig finishing third in the Bundesliga and securing qualification for the Champions League. In statements and a letter to players, Werner reportedly expresses that he was not afforded the opportunity to bid farewell to staff. Reports also note that Werner’s correspondence omits reference to Jürgen Klopp, despite Klopp being linked to the decision-making process. Jürgen Klopp, described as Red Bull’s head of soccer, is quoted saying the club recognizes Werner’s work, including leading the team to the Champions League, while also emphasizing the need to move forward. The coaching change is described as being made by Klopp together with Leipzig supervisory board chairman Oliver Mintzlaff.
