Ole Werner moves to RB Leipzig – coaching revolution in the Bundesliga!
The move from Ole Werner, the previous coach of SV Werder Bremen, to RB Leipzig is imminent. As Deichstube reports, both clubs have agreed on the transfer modalities and official confirmation could come soon. The final contractual details should be clarified by the weekend.
RB Leipzig's new head coach will sign a two-year contract. Interestingly, Ole Werner was originally contracted to Werder Bremen until the summer of 2026, but due to the proposed changes he was released. The negotiations between the two clubs had been on hold since last week, but now things are picking up speed again, as is Kreiszeitung determines.
Financial settlement
The transfer turned out to be tough because Werder Bremen had initially demanded a transfer fee of six million euros. RB Leipzig, on the other hand, was only prepared to pay three million euros. However, both clubs have made compromises and have now negotiated bonus models into the transfer package, which could secure Werder additional payments if Leipzig is successful.
By changing Ole Werner and his support team, consisting of assistant coaches Patrick Kohlmann and Tim Cichon, Werder Bremen can save a total of around 2.5 million euros in annual salary costs. This fact is particularly important for the club as the financial pressure in the Bundesliga is not easing.
Urgent need at RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig is under pressure to name a new head coach after other targeted coaching signings fell through. Leipzig is currently the only Bundesliga club without a coach for the coming 2025/26 season. Ole Werner is considered the top favorite to close this gap and brings a breath of fresh air to the team. According to Kreizeitung, the club management sees Werner as a promising coach for the demanding challenges that will lie ahead for the team.
So everything boils down to the fact that Ole Werner's move to Leipzig should soon be over. Fans of both clubs can be curious to see how this development will affect the coming Bundesliga season.
