The 34-year-old German had recently been linked to a move to the German Bundesliga in media reports. Now there is peace in this matter. “The early contract extension is also a sign of the esteem we have for one another,” emphasized Jaissle.
Jaissle came from Liefering at the beginning of the season and was able to convince as the successor to Jesse Marsch. In addition to the triumph in the Bundesliga and the ÖFB Cup, the entry into the Champions League round of 16 with the youngest squad of all teams in the “premier class” was outstanding and made for the most successful club season ever. “In that case, I’m an absolute believer. The task here in Salzburg is a matter close to my heart. I feel very comfortable in the club and in the region, I really appreciate the conditions and the whole environment here,” explained the German.
In the Salzburg camp, everyone is happy that they don’t have to look for a new coach right away. Marsch had previously been in office for two seasons and then dared the unsuccessful jump to RB Leipzig. The American is currently fighting in the English Premier League with Leeds United for relegation. “With this early decision, we now have clarity about the question of coaching for the new season. That feels good and saves us all a lot of speculation,” said managing director Stephan Reiter.
Jaissle, whose old contract would have run until 2024, has provided many arguments for further cooperation. “By that I don’t just mean the sporting successes, but also how he develops the team and lives our club philosophy. That’s one of the reasons why I’m already looking forward to the new season,” said Reiter. Sport director Christoph Freund underscored this: “In him we have a coach who fits in perfectly with our club and still has a great coaching career ahead of him. That’s why we’re happy that we were able to extend the contract early and after the holiday together with Voller energy will tackle the coming season.”
