It feels really good to be back here. FC Red Bull Salzburg is a special club for me with which I have already experienced some things and now am able to return to as head coach. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone here in the club as quickly as possible. It is important that we develop together as a team, as we will only succeed if we are all singing from the same hymn sheet.
