After guiding RB Leipzig to just one win in their last seven Bundesliga games, Marco Rose is under intense pressure.

Die Roten Bullen's recent run of poor form has seen them slip out of the Champions League places and Rose's side currently sit sixth, level on points with fifth-placed Mainz and one point behind fourth-placed Freiburg.

According to Sport Bild, Rose could be sacked if Leipzig aren't fourth after their next four league games.

Leipzig's next league fixtures are against Mainz, Freiburg, Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach, all of whom are challenging Leipzig for European places.

For now, however, Die Roten Bullen must focus on Wednesday's DFB-Pokal quarter-final against Wolfsburg. A win would certainly be welcome for Leipzig, and not least for Rose.
