Newcastle appoint Matthias Jaissle as head coach
Shay Given said Newcastle fans could ‘fear the worst’ after Bruno Guimaraes’ £75m move to Arsenal, adding that the club have lost quality and experience after major summer sales.
Jaissle, 38, arrives with success at Salzburg and Al-Ahli but no Premier League experience. Newcastle expect him to grasp the club’s culture quickly before the Liverpool opener.
Ross Wilson and David Hopkinson said Jaissle fits Newcastle’s sporting vision, praising his high-energy football, player development and record at Salzburg and Al-Ahli.
Jaissle said Newcastle’s ambition, vision and progress made the move ‘incredibly compelling’, as the new head coach vowed full commitment and belief in the squad’s potential.
Newcastle appoint Matthias Jaissle as head coach. The 38-year-old arrives from Al-Ahli after success in Austria and Asia, and starts immediately with his staff to follow.
Report says Man Utd want Lewis Hall, but David Ornstein does not expect Newcastle to sell and suggests they could offer him a new deal.
