RB Leipzig have sacked head coach Marco Rose following their 1-0 Bundesliga defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.
Rose, 48, departs after two and a half years with Leipzig and with the side sixth in the Bundesliga table.
They have won three of their last 11 Bundesliga games and have seven matches remaining following the defeat at Monchengladbach.
Leipzig are only three points short of the Champions League qualification positions and play in the semi-finals of the German Cup on Wednesday against Stuttgart.
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp currently works for the Red Bull group as their head of global soccer.
Speaking in January, Klopp said "I will not be the coach of a Red Bull team," should an opportunity arise.
Marcel Schafer, Leipzig's managing director for sport, said: "We have believed in our co-operation with Marco and his team for a very long time and, up to now, tried everything to turn things around together.
"Given the development and the continued lack of results, we're all firmly convinced that we need new impetus for the remainder of the campaign in order to achieve our aims for the season."
