RB Leipzig need a new manager.

Marco Rose was sacked in March, and interim coach Zsolt Low is holding things together.

But with the season nearing its end and Champions League football still up for grabs, the club is under pressure to make a long-term decision.

Leipzig isn’t the only club in the picture.

There’s real competition.

Roma are also in the market and looking to replace Claudio Ranieri at the end of the season.

Both clubs are tracking the same man—someone new to coaching but already making waves.

He’s not just impressing on the pitch.

He also owns part of the club he’s managing, which complicates any potential move.

But there’s serious interest, and it’s coming from someone who knows a thing or two about bold moves.

According to Fabrizio Romano via Goal, Jurgen Klopp wants Cesc Fabregas to take over at RB Leipzig.

Since stepping down at Liverpool, Klopp has taken up a new role as Red Bull’s head of global soccer.

That gives him a say in Leipzig’s next managerial appointment—and he’s making it count.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Klopp had “direct contact with [Como manager] Cesc Fabregas a few weeks ago to speak about the Leipzig project.”

Fabregas is currently in charge of Serie A side Como and has led them to a mid-table position with an attacking style of football.

Despite being early in his coaching career, he’s earned respect.

Romano also said, “Cesc is still deciding to stay at Como, that’s the position of the coach.”

That decision isn’t simple.

Fabregas is not just Como’s manager—he’s also a part-owner.

Walking away from that would be a major move.

Still, the Leipzig job is a big opportunity and could fast-track him to elite-level management.

For Liverpool fans, Klopp’s involvement is a reminder that he’s still shaping football at the top level—even if he’s not standing on the touchline anymore.
