T-Mobile CEO John Legere will not be leading the troubled office space company WeWork after all, a new report says.
Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that parent firm The We Company, which has been beset with a series of problems since its aborted IPO, was in talks with the famously eccentric T-Mobile CEO to fill the role of CEO.
But there are several candidates in the mix, and Legere who is leading T-Mobile's proposed takeover of Sprint has no plans to leave the company, according to Alex Sherman from CNBC .

Cofounder Adam Neumann was forced out as CEO of We in September, after its public offering turned into a debacle that saw WeWork's business model come under harsh scrutiny and its valuation tumble. SoftBank, We's largest outside investor, ultimately bought a majority stake of the company in a deal valuing it at $8 billion.
The Wall Street Journal's report on Monday said that We was searching for a new chief executive to replace current co-CEOs Sebastian Gunningham and Artie Minson, who took over after the ouster of Neumann.
Representatives for T-Mobile or WeWork were not immediately available for comment.
