Marco Rose and Max Eberl not only have a common Gladbach past, but also very likely a common Leipzig future. The newly hired coach would be happy to work with Eberl again.

Actually, one might have thought that the relationship between Marco Rose and Max Eberl is not that good. After all, Rose caused a stir when, after announcing that he wanted to build something with Gladbach, he left the club despite a contract and joined BVB. However, Eberl knows how the football business works and, like Rose, would not stand in the way of a cooperation.

"I think it's an open secret that the club is trying to get Max and I would be happy if that worked and I would also be happy to work together," said the new Leipzig coach at the press conference. Rose relies on the mutual understanding that has worked since Gladbach's times. "Of course I know how Max works and works and I would have a man by my side who would be good for me and the club," he explained.

The deal between Eberl and Leipzig is still hooked on the existing Eberl contract, which ties it to Gladbach. The foals are still amazed at the actions of the long-time squad planner, who only extended until 2026 and then left the club only a short time later for health reasons. Eberl had not reported to those responsible for the foals before or after his talks with Leipzig, reports the picture. Either way, a transfer fee would be due to lure Eberl to RB. According to reports, Gladbach is demanding at least five million euros plus other success bonuses.
