Marco Rose remains the clear favorite to take over as RB Leipzig coach, according to Bild and Sport1.

Rose was also touted for the job before Tedesco was relieved of his duties today after last night's 1-4 defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Bild now claims that "everything" indicates that the former RB Salzburg coach will replace Tedesco, with the German tabloid claiming that initial talks have already taken place and that an agreement could be reached as early as this afternoon.

Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked as Chelsea manager today, is not an option, per Bild.
