#DFB-Pokal

Even in this busiest of seasons, the Bundesliga stuck to its guns regarding the winter break.

But Germany's top flight wanted to give its players a few weeks to recover from their…

Note: This article was almost entirely written before Bayer Leverkusen's 4-3 defeat against SV Elvensberg in the DFB Pokal. Losing to a 3.

In some ways, RB Leipzig's decision to sack Domenico Tedesco last month was a surprise. The Italian-German manager had only been in charge for nine months, and he had achieved plenty in that time.
