Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Englert, formerly a first-team scout at Bayern Munich for over seven years, joins Leipzig on the recommendation of former player Daniel Baier, according to Bild. Leipzig are currently restructuring their personnel following a disappointing season, with several positions reportedly needing to be filled. The report further claims that Leipzig have already made 16 changes related to first-team staff during the summer break, with further personnel adjustments still possible as the overhaul continues. Team psychologist Peter Schneider and match analyst Fabian Friedrich, who has been with Leipzig since 2012, are apparently on the verge of an exit. Dr Percy Marshall is moving to Bournemouth, while physiotherapist Simeon Unger is taking up a position at the Red Bull Athlete Performance Center in Thalgau, Austria. In addition, Ole Werner has been appointed as the new head coach.
Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT FOR RB LEIPZIG?
The squad will also need reinforcements if they are to return to European football and challenge for the Bundesliga throne. Star players Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko have been linked with departures this summer, which could weaken the team to a great extent. Die Roten Bullen will return to action when they take on fourth-tier German side ZFC Meuselwitz on July 19 in their first pre-season game.
