German side RB Leipzig has sacked their coach, Domenico Tedesco after the team conceded eight goals in back to back games.
RB Leipzig lost 4-0 away to Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend in a Bundesliga match and yesterday, they lost 4-1 to visiting Shakhtar Donestsk in their Champions League group opening game.
“RB Leipzig have parted company with Domenico Tedesco with immediate effect,” read a statement posted on the club’s Twitter account on Wednesday morning.
“Assistant coaches Andreas Hinkel and Max Urwantschky have also left the club. RB Leipzig will announce his successor in due course.”
Tedesco, who led Schalke to a second-placed Bundesliga finish and the Champions League in his previous stint in Germany, took over from Jesse Marsch in December and took Leipzig from 11th back to the top four and the German Cup win.
“After our mediocre start to the Bundesliga season with five points from five games, along with the recent defeats to Eintracht and Shakhtar, we believe that a change of management is the right course of action to turn things around quickly,” RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff said.
