Leipzig CEO: Champions League is a must

RB Leipzig's CEO, who recently settled into her role, discussed the club's ambition and financial realities. She stated that Champions League qualification is a necessity to meet financial commitments, noting that missing out led to significant budget cuts. The CEO, who previously worked in the U.S. National Women's Soccer League, shared her surprising transition into leading a men's Bundesliga club.

She emphasized that leadership, strategy, and passion are key in her role, regardless of prior experience in men's or women's soccer. The club aims for consistency on the field, currently sitting fourth in the standings, and celebrates the development of young players. A major upcoming fixture against Manchester City presents an opportunity to perform on the international stage and aims to advance to the next round of the Champions League.
