After a recent upturn in form, RB Leipzig found themselves on the losing side once again on Tuesday as a 2-3 defeat to Aston Villa saw them crash out of the Champions League.

The defeat - Leipzig's sixth in six Champions League games this season - has reignited questions over Marco Rose's position as the club's head coach.

However, according to Bild, the defeat hasn't changed Leipzig's stance that Rose will remain in charge beyond the turn of the year and start the second half of the season with the team.

Should Rose lose his job later in the season, Roger Schmidt and Erik ten Hag have been named as candidates to take over.

Rose has been Leipzig's coach since September 2022 and his contract runs until the summer of 2026.
