Former RB Leipzig head coach Ralf Rangnick has hit out at the club's players after they flew in a celebrity hairdresser from London ahead of their 2-0 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend.
Nine Leipzig players, including Chelsea loanee Ethan Ampadu, had their hair cut by English hairdresser Sheldon Edwards at their Frankfurt hotel before the game. The barber, whose previous clients include Olivier Giroud, Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling, later published images of his work on social media.
When asked about the barber's visit, Rangnick, who is now Red Bull's head of sport and development, was scathing, branding the team's players as "decadent."

"I would have bet â¬100,000 on our players not flying in a star barber from England to have their cut in the hotel," Rangnick told Leipziger Volkszeitung. "I would have lost that â¬100,000."
"The 2-0 defeat was annoying enough, but that hairdresser leaves me in disbelief. That's decadent."
"It's not far off the golden steak," Rangnick added, in reference to Bundesliga players visiting the Nusr-et restaurant during the league's winter break.
