Matthias Jaisle got the chance that hundreds of coaches from Austria and Germany were hoping for, and again it was not enough. Red Bull Salzburg promoted him to the head coach in 2021 as a very young and inexperienced expert, although he justified that trust by winning two titles. But that was not enough for Jaisle. When he received the invitation of Al-Ahli from Saudi Arabia, he slowly moved on. Salzburg rejected an offer from the Middle East for their coach, but Jaisle decided to continue with negotiations, even thou he is under contract with Salzburg. He probably thought that when the agreement was reached, he would have the Austrians up against a wall, and they would have to accept. But they were a step quicker and sacked him. ماثياس يايسله مدرباً للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بالنادي #الأهلي ⚽️💚#WelcomeMatthias pic.twitter.com/wfRJjwoM50— النادي الأهلي السعودي (@ALAHLI_FC) July 28, 2023 „FC Red Bull Salzburg has temporarly released coach Matthias Jaissle. The reason for that is the wish of the 35-year-old German, expressed just two days before the start of the 2023/24 ADMIRAL Bundesliga season, to move to Al-Ahli SFC. The discussions required with the Saudi Arabian club on the matter are entering their final phase. Matthias Jaissle will therefore not be on the bench for the match against SCR Altach. Taking his place will be current assistant coaches Florens Koch and Alexander Hauser“ said the club in a statement. First the Champions League, then the Saudi’s millions: Mahrez signs for Al-AhliThe sporting director bluntly explained it:”Our view is that a coach that is so busy exploring Stephan Reiter a new job just two days before the start of such an important season should not be in charge when it starts. We want to start the new season full of energy and conviction. We need 100% focus from all those involved for that” said Stephan Reitner. From Anfield to Al-Ahli for four times the salary – Bobby Firmino a part of the Saudi boomIn the meantime, the club agreed on a compensation package for Jaissle, and he became an Al-Ahli coach today. He signed a year deal, and unlike in Austria, where Salzburg was basically without serious competition for the title, this time he is facing Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal as big rivals for the title. He will try to win the title with Edouard Mendy, Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez, and probably Allan Saint-Maximin, who should arrive from Newcastle in the next few days. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7398914##
