RB Leipzig are second in the Bundesliga and have the best defensive record in the league.

However, things have taken a turn for the worse recently, with Die Roten Bullen now winless in their last three games.

On top of that, Leipzig's results in the Champions League have been disappointing, with Rose's team losing their first four games in Europe's top club competition.

This has led Sport Bild to question the job of head coach Marco Rose, claiming that the team are not properly implementing the coach's game plan.

In addition, the report claims that Rose's public behavior is sometimes met with anger internally, with club bosses believing that the coach too often makes excuses for poor performances or "starts arguments with TV reporters.”

Jürgen Klopp, who is due to start work as RB Leipzig's Global Head of Soccer in January, has a good relationship with Rose dating back to their time together at Mainz. That could work in Rose's favor.
