RB Leipzig have parted company with head coach Jesse Marsch after five months in charge.

The club lie 11th in the Bundesliga following the 2-1 defeat to Union Berlin on Friday, five points adrift of the top four.

This comes after three straight defeats with the 48-year-old winning five of his 14 league matches since arriving in July.

Leipzig have also failed to qualify for the knockout rounds of the Champions League – currently sitting in third in their group heading into the final matchday.

Achim Beierlorzer will take over for that final game with Manchester City on Tuesday.
