Dortmund embarrasses himself against Augsburg: the crisis becomes deeper!

The current season in the Bundesliga has a mixed picture for Borussia Dortmund. With the 10th place in the table, the club, which once fought for the championship, sees itself in a difficult situation. Despite all inconsistencies, a qualification for the Champions League remains in the area of ​​the possible. This is also due to the fact that other top teams, such as RB Leipzig, are currently also stumbling. Leipzig, under the direction of Marco Rose, is currently in the 6th place and is also experiencing a disappointing season, which is marked by a winless series of four games. The fans are concerned after the last game against Freiburg ended with a goalless draw. In addition, Leipzig has won only one of the last nine league games.

The concerns about Marco Rose are strengthening with every further defeat. The trainer, who has been working at RB Leipzig since September 2022 and previously trained Borussia Dortmund, is increasingly criticizing. Above all, the club management has determined that Rose's position is at risk, especially after the recent defeat against Mainz 05. Sports director Marcel Schäfer defends the coach and describes the criticism of “quick business in football” as justified. Schäfer emphasizes the desire to survive this difficult phase together with Rose, who was born in Leipzig and won a title for the club.

critical situation for Leipzig

The club management of RB Leipzig has decided that Rose will remain in office for the time being. However, this could change after the coming matchday on which Leipzig will compete against Freiburg. A victory is imperative in order not to lose any other points to the competitors. After the game against Dortmund, the waves could then smooth out or continue, especially because the international break is imminent. Such a period could be ideal for a possible change of coach.

The performance of RB Leipzig has led to a decline in the table in the league. The club said goodbye to the Champions League places. The fans and the club management in particular are concerned about the course of the season. It remains to be seen whether Rose will be able to get the club back on course and whether the critical voices become louder that demand a change of coaching.

Overall, the developments in both clubs show that the challenges in the Bundesliga are great for many clubs this season. Both Dortmund and Leipzig urgently have to confirm their shape so as not to lose sight of the goal of the season. The pressure on the coaching burden will continue to increase, and it remains to be seen which decisions the club tours will make in the coming days.
