I still take the time to write something that interests me, especially the content of transfers. Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg officially announced the appointment of the current Liverpool assistant coach, 41-year-old Dutch coach Linders, as the team's head coach next season. Linders has been with Liverpool for almost 10 years, playing 463 games for Jurgen Klopp. With Uncle Scum's tenure at Anfield coming to an end, Linders is once again trying to take the lead.
Red Bull Salzburg has announced that Peppin Linders will move from Liverpool to Red Bull Salzburg to become our next manager. The 41-year-old Dutch coach has been Klopp's assistant coach for many years, guiding him to the Premier League. Linders has signed a three-year contract with Red Bull Salzburg and will begin his coaching run in the run-up to the 2024-25 season.
Lindes' assistant coach is also from Liverpool, and he is 36-year-old Portuguese coach Vitor Matos, who has worked together in Porto B and Liverpool. Red Bull Salzburg's summer training camp will kick off in mid-June, with Linders' debut ceremony and press conference taking place as scheduled.
Red Bull Salzburg's sporting director Bernhard said: "Linders is the ideal candidate for our first-team managerial position. He is a true football expert and has also achieved great success at Liverpool with his ability to develop players. We negotiated very successfully with him and we agreed on what kind of football we wanted to play, what we wanted to achieve, and where we were going. We are very much looking forward to working with him, but we still have to give the season a successful finish. ”
Linders himself said: "I am proud to be the manager of Red Bull Salzburg, after PSV Eindhoven, Porto and Liverpool, I will join a wonderful club with a very strong organisation and a better academy system. All the clubs I've played for are very special, but they also have something in common: an emphasis on attacking football, a desire to win big honours, a desire to succeed. ”
The 41-year-old began teaching in 2022 and has coached PSV Eindhoven and Porto in the academy before being the first team technical coach of Porto in 2013-14. He moved to Liverpool in 2014 and spent a year as coach of the Under-18s before being promoted to assistant coach in 2015 and assisting Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp until the end of the season, where he played 463 games. Linders was a relatively inexperienced first-team manager, having only briefly spelled Nijmegen in the second half of the 2017/18 season, but failed to lead them to promotion before returning to Liverpool.
Red Bull Salzburg is an Austrian giant, has won the Austrian championship 17 times, including the last 10 consecutive championships, but this season the team's performance is average, leading in the regular stage, but after entering the championship play-offs, it has a sluggish performance, only 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, has been overtaken by the Graz storm, in the case of only one round of the league, to defend the title unless there is a miracle.
