Manager’s fate was sealed by former club Gladbach as Red Bull hierarchy act to rescue season with top-four finishIt was fitting that it happened here, and how Marco Rose himself must have felt the inevitable creep of irony as the afternoon went on, and as the end result trundled into view in Mönchengladbach. He had plenty of time to acquaint himself with the possibility during a second half in which RB Leipzig rarely looked like scoring. If the game was still going on now, their vaunted collection of attacking players might still be looking for the breakthrough.There had been a handful of other occasions during the season when Rose must have suspected he would become what he is now: the ex-coach of RB Leipzig. “We believed in our cooperation with Marco and his team for a very long time,” the club’s managing director for sport, Marcel Schäfer said. “We tried everything until the very end to turn things around together.” Continue reading...

Having both been substituted, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong sat on the visitors’ bench at the Allianz Arena as time ticked down, a seat apart, both yelling, maybe at each other, maybe just into the ether. Finally Wirtz covered his face with his hands.Of all the images of last week’s all-German Champions League last-16 match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, this was the one that stuck. Frustration is to be expected, particularly in the dying embers of a bad defeat against a domestic and European rival, but this was something that we have rarely seen from Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen. Setbacks happen, but he and his players have always maintained their poise, knowing that their path is the right one and that an answer is coming. This time? May...
