Thomas Letsch's time as FC Red Bull Salzburg coach ends

57-year-old German released from duties today

Thomas Letsch has been relieved of his duties at our club today and is no longer head coach of FC Red Bull Salzburg.

The German took over as coach of our Red Bulls at the beginning of 2025 and managed the team for a total of 56 matches (averaging 1.55 points per game). After last Sunday's 1-1 draw at GAK, his time in Salzburg has now come to an end.

During my first six weeks in the role, I have gained a comprehensive overview of the sporting achievements and developments of the past twelve months. After careful analysis, I have come to the conclusion that FC Red Bull Salzburg needs new impetus. We would like to thank Thomas Letsch for his dedicated work and commitment to our club and wish him all the best! We are currently making preparations for a successor and will announce one in the near future.

Marcus Mann, Managing Director of Sport

I would like to express my gratitude for this intense period together at FC Red Bull Salzburg, which is now unfortunately coming to an end. We came to the club in a difficult situation, and even though not everything went perfectly, we are leaving behind a solid team that has a great chance of winning both national titles. I wish the team and the club the best of luck and all the very best!
