Leipzig’s coach Micho is preparing for a meeting that carries more than the usual weight of the fixture list. His next opponent is the club where he spent seven years as a player and where his first steps in coaching were also shaped.
The Leipzig manager has spoken of his emotion ahead of the reunion, returning in a different role to a place that helped define both stages of his football life. For a coach working in one of Germany’s most modern football cities, the occasion brings a personal connection to the other side of the touchline.
