RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose speaks highly of the long-term work of coach Frank Schmidt ahead of the game at 1. FC Heidenheim. "I have great respect for Frank and the decision-makers at the club, who have kept their nerve in all phases," said the RB head coach ahead of this Sunday's Bundesliga clash (3.30pm/DAZN).
"Hopefully the guy will be around for a very, very long time, because Frank is basically an outstanding person and has developed a lot there. He also got the time to develop a lot there. He remained calm even in difficult phases, which is always a symbiosis between coach and club."
RB Leipzig will be looking to extend their record run of 16 unbeaten Bundesliga games across the season after their bitter 3-2 defeat at home to Juventus in the Champions League. "We have to be there on Sunday for the tough game in Heidenheim, even if the way we lost is still a bit of an emotional burden," said Rose.
