RB Leipzig has appointed former Bayern Munich assistant Zolt Low as their new head coach at a contract until the end of the 2024-25 season.
Leipzig previously separated with Marco Rose earlier on Sunday after their 1-0 defeat against Borussia Monchengladbach, a result that leaves them in the table sixth.
Layer operated as the assistant manager of Thomas Tuchel during his spells with Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
The 45-year-old also spent time with Leipzig between 2015 and 2018 and worked under both Ralph Hasenhuttl and Ralf Rangnick as an assistant manager.
Leipzig has won three of their last 11 Bundesliga matches, but are only three points under the qualifying places of the Champions League with seven more games.
Zolt Löw is mentioned as the new head coach of RB Leipzig. The 45-year-old will sign a contract until the end of the 2024/25 season and will take the lead on his first training session on Monday. Peter Krawietz becomes Low's Assistant coach in Leipzig.
