RB Leipzig eye Alexander Blessin for managerial role | OneFootball

RB Leipzig seems to have a new favorite to take over as head coach after the refusals of Oliver Glasner and Cesc Fàbregas.

The name of the moment is Alexander Blessin, coach of St. Pauli.

In addition to strong internal support, he has a powerful ally: Jürgen Köpp, global director of football at Red Bull.

Known for his aggressive style of play and focus on developing young talents, Blessin embodies the philosophy that marked the Ralf Rangnick era in Leipzig.

Furthermore, he knows the club well: between 2012 and 2020, he worked in the RB Leipzig youth categories, which reinforces his connection with the team's identity.
