RB Leipzig sack coach Tedesco after Shakhtar thrashing

BERLIN: Domenico Tedesco was fired by German side RB Leipzig on Wednesday, a day after a 4-1 home thrashing by Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening Champions League group match.
It comes months after he led them to German Cup success but a dreadful start to their league campaign has yielded five points from five matches in the Bundesliga.
“RB Leipzig have parted company with Domenico Tedesco with immediate effect,” the club tweeted.
Even before Tuesday’s humiliation, there were rumors that Leipzig had lined up former Borussia Dortmund coach Marco Rose.
