RB Leipzig is reportedly considering Mainz head coach Bo Henriksen as a potential candidate to succeed Marco Rose, who was recently dismissed. Henriksen's strong results at Mainz, lifting the team from relegation to European qualification contention, have caught the attention of Leipzig's leadership. Despite signing an extension with Mainz until 2027 in January, Henriksen is now rumored to be a summer target for Leipzig.
Leipzig's interim coach Zsolt Löw will guide the team until a permanent appointment is made, following Rose's departure. The club's recent victory over Wolfsburg saw them surpass Mainz in the Bundesliga standings. Alongside Henriksen, other coaches reportedly on Leipzig's radar include Oliver Glasner, Roger Schmidt, Danny Röhl, and Cesc Fàbregas for the vacant coaching position.
