Let me quote from lekkutei sichos chelek beis pg 518 (translation from yiddish) “ppl ask how do I say that soon the dead will come back including the (previous) rebbe and he will lead us out of exile, the order is first moshiach will come and then there will be techiya, the answer is although the general techiya will accur after the coming of moshiach and the building of the beis hamikdash etc, but there will be a select few which will have techiya before moshiach comes, as is known from a few stories in shas and medrash of tzaddikin that did techiyas hamiasim, and like chazal say even the smallest of you can do techiya (avodah Zara 10b)” meaning that techiya can happen in gauls also, that’s the sicha, as of the rambam, the rambam says that someone who is halachaikly assumed to be moshiach (bechezkas moshiach) of he dies he is no longer moshiach, meaning that according to halacha he is for sure not moshiach as of now, also the rebbe is for sure not moshiach now as moshiach did not come yet, but if there is techiya before than the rebbe is like any other live person, the rambam is saying that once a assumed moshiach according to halacha dies he is now not moshiach according to halacha, the reason why we don’t believe it possible for j to be moshiach is because he was a kofer
