Ole Werner: New coach at RB Leipzig – A magical change!

On July 9, 2025, football entered the stage for a new coaching change that is causing excitement. Ole Werner, who previously coached SV Werder Bremen, was officially introduced as the new coach of RB Leipzig. After four intensive seasons on the Weser, in which he experienced a lot, this chapter is now ending for him. RB Leipzig has secured Werner's services and paid Werder Bremen a transfer fee of around two million euros, including bonus payments. According to Deichstube, Werner looks back gratefully on his time at Werder and now wants to make a new start in Leipzig.

Werner was released after the end of the 2025 season, but his confidence in talks with RB Leipzig was palpable. “I have a good feeling,” said Werner about the change. The main goal for his new task is clear: qualification for international business. It will be exciting to see how he can realize these ambitions with the team.

The new route to Leipzig

With a sporting look back at his statistics against RB Leipzig - three defeats and three draws in six duels with Werder Bremen - Werner has a clear motivation: Leipzig's home strength should ensure that these numbers soon take a different turn. When asked about possible transfers of Werder players to Leipzig, the new coach was cautious about speculation.

The first direct duel between Werder Bremen and Leipzig under Werner will take place on the 11th matchday, from November 21st to 23rd. The anticipation for this encounter is great – not only for Werner, but also for the fans of both teams.

The move from Werner to Leipzig is just part of a larger trend that is accompanying the league. According to Statista, the coaching chair in the Bundesliga has seen a lot of movement in the last few decades.

The challenge for Ole Werner will be not only to convince the fans of RB Leipzig, but also to lead the team successfully into the new season.
