“The decision is the result of an in-depth analysis and intensive discussions after the Bundesliga match against Union Berlin,” a statement by last season’s Bundesliga runners-up read.
A successor for Jesse Marsch will be announced in the near future.
“It was not easy for us to part company … because I hold Jesse in high regard as a person and as a coach,” Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff said.
“It’s a shame that things did not work out as we had hoped with this setup, and that this step has now become necessary. Unfortunately, the development we were hoping for and the results needed to achieve our goals for the season have not been achieved,” he added.
