Thierry Henry in Talks to Become RB Leipzig’s New Manager
According to recent reports, former French football star Thierry Henry is in negotiations to become the new head coach of RB Leipzig. The 47-year-old World Cup and European Championship winner has reportedly had initial discussions with the German club’s management.
Sources indicate that Henry’s candidacy has received support from Jürgen Klopp, the global director of Red Bull’s football division. This endorsement could significantly boost Henry’s chances of securing the position.
The managerial change comes in the wake of Marco Rose’s departure from RB Leipzig on March 30th. Following Rose’s exit, Zsolt Löw was appointed as interim manager until the end of the current season.
RB Leipzig is currently positioned fourth in the Bundesliga table, having accumulated 49 points from 30 matches. The club’s leadership is likely seeking a permanent solution to guide the team in the upcoming season and beyond.
If appointed, this would mark a significant step in Henry’s coaching career, following his previous experiences with AS Monaco and the Belgian national team. The potential move to RB Leipzig could provide Henry with an opportunity to showcase his managerial skills in one of Europe’s top leagues.
