Red Bull Salzburg confidently grabbed their nineteenth championship title in a row and once again dominated the national league this year. Under Matthias Jaissle, who rose to become the youngest master coach in the history of the Bundesliga, a young, hungry squad was formed, which not only caused a sensation in Austria, but was also responsible for some highlights on international soil with the likely entry into the round of 16 of the Champions League. As a result, some professionals have of course played themselves into the shop window, a wave of departures threatens as in previous years, but in the city of Mozart they want to prepare for the coming season in peace.

“It is important for our club that players can take the next step and that we also let them go. However, the space that then becomes free should be filled by players who are ready to accept this challenge, because we are still as Start the new season as a favorite and want to be there right from the start,” explains sports director Christoph Freund at “Sky”.
Karim Adeyemi is about to leave Dortmund, and there is said to be widespread interest in top performers such as Nicolas Seiwald, Noah Okafor, Oumar Solet, Rasmus Kristensen and Brenden Aaronson. “I don’t want to go into too much detail about all the rumors that are circulating. It’s important to me what we discuss with the players behind closed doors because that’s what counts in the end,” Freund says, reticent about which professionals will continue to play in Salzburg in the future will be seen.
Hope for whereabouts of Jaissle and Wöber
“We’re planning that we’ll have a really good team. To do that, we have to keep some guys who have had a really good season this year and we’re going to do that. We’re definitely trying to find a really good mix “, Freund continued. Defense chief Maximilian Wöber, whom the 44-year-old would like to see longer in Salzburg’s kit, should also continue to be part of this team: “It’s the case with him that he’s integrated really well in the last three years is an absolute leader and is also working on himself in terms of his performance and performance. He has become even more professional and is a very important part of the team. That’s why our goal is very clear that he stays in Salzburg.”
Head coach Matthias Jaissle, who has also put himself in the limelight after his strong debut season as Salzburg coach, should do the same, but still has a contract with Salzburg until summer 2024. “When a young coach plays a season like this, it’s normal for him to be interesting on the market too. We have a long-term project with him, we are already planning the new season with him and I therefore assume that he will also be our coach next year,” Freund throws at the 34-year-old’s whereabouts, but throws afterwards: “In football I know but you can never do anything 100% and that’s why I won’t make a 100% statement either.”
