'It's never easy in your home city' - Marco Rose appointed RB Leipzig manager after Domenico Tedesco's dismissal

Marco Rose has been appointed as the new manager of his hometown club RB Leipzig, the day after the German club dismissed Domenico Tedesco. Tedesco was given his marching orders in the wake of a 4-1 Champions League defeat at home to Shakhtar Donetsk, a result that continued Leipzig's poor start to the season. Ad Leipzig began the 2022/23 campaign sluggishly, picking up five points from five games, and the humbling result in Europe proved to be the last straw for Tedesco.
