RB Leipzig, on Wednesday, sacked the manager of the club, Domenico Tedesco, a day after a 4-1 home thrashing by Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening Champions League group match.
This is coming months after Tedesco led Leipzig to German Cup success.
A dreadful start to their league campaign has however 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 rumours that Leipzig had lined up former Borussia Dortmund coach, Marco Rose.
The Leipzig-born Rose won two Austrian titles with sister club, Red Bull Salzburg.
Italy-born Tedesco, 36, only took over last December when Leipzig sacked American Jesse Marsch after a poor run of results.
He turned their fortunes around, guiding them to a Champions League spot, the Europa League semi-finals, and their maiden domestic trophy, beating Freiburg on penalties in the German Cup final.
