Salzburg sacks coach

Pepijn Lijnders leaves Austrian club after another defeat

Salzburg have announced the dismissal of Dutch coach Pepijn Lijnders and Portuguese assistant Vítor Matos, who were both part of Jurgen Klopp’s coaching team at Liverpool . . The German, it should be remembered, will become general director of football at Red Bull, the company that controls the Austrian club and several others, from January, but not even that fact could save the two old acquaintances.

After another 3-0 defeat, this time in the league against Austria Klagenfurt, Pep, 41, couldn’t resist and left his position.

Salzburg have had a string of poor results this season . A few days ago, the Austrians lost 3-0 to PSG in the 6th round of the Champions League . Gonçalo Ramos and Nuno Mendes scored two of the goals.

At the time of dismissal, Salzburg would like to thank Pepijn Lijnders for his dedication and wish him good luck for the future.
