‘Jaissle is a rock star’<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n Newcastle CEO David Hopkinson on Matthias Jaissle in an interview with The Athletic:<\/i>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was not an easy conversation (with Jaissle). He was not sitting on the sidelines, figuring out what he\u2019s going to do next for work. He was employed and delivering and he had earned the right already to be very selective about where he wants to go next and he\u2019s chosen Newcastle.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a shared conviction of what this club can be. We\u2019re welcoming his leadership and his passion. The people here are going to fall in love with what he brings to Newcastle.\n<\/p>\n
“Eddie leaves big shoes to fill. I have every confidence MJ is the right man to lead us into the future and build on everything Eddie has done for this club. This guy is really impressive. This guy is fire. He is a rock star.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Inspirations as a coach<\/h3>\n Jaissle is steeped in the Red Bull school, having been the head coach at FC Liefering and Red Bull Salzburg at a young age. This means a particular emphasis on high pressing and relatively direct play, looking to move the ball forwards whenever possible.<\/p>\n
But his Salzburg team also had plenty of possession and Jaissle would not want to be pigeonholed. “You have to develop your game, you have to always make progress.” He has indicated that he is willing to look to all of the game’s top coaches for inspiration.<\/p>\n
“They always have some principles you can see which make sense to include in your philosophy. It’s not about copying, exactly, but seeing interesting things, creating your thoughts about it, and then, if it fits, you can bring it into your way of playing.”<\/p>\n
What formation does he play?<\/h3>\n That has been reflected in the evolution of his preferred formation. At Salzburg, it was often built around the narrow 4-4-2 with wingers coming inside that Ralf Rangnick popularised across the Red Bull teams. But he switched things up in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
With Al Ahli, he often adopted a 4-2-3-1 formation building with either a 3-2-5 or a 2-3-5 structure – something that is de rigueur in the Premier League. Speaking to Sky Sports<\/em>, he explained that it was more about principles of play than the precise formations.<\/p>\n\n

It is more how you want to play, how you want to attack, how you want to defend. If you understand that and the players understand that, tactically you are much more flexible and the formation is not that important.”<\/p>\n
It can be demanding for players. “These days the players are more and more involved in tactical things. Every coach and every club works with principles, so every player has to know a lot of things, tactically, in each phase of the game. I think that’s a big change.”<\/p>\n
Predicting the future<\/h3>\n Speaking to Sky Sports<\/em> in 2023, Jaissle anticipated some of the changes that have been seen in the Premier League since then with its increased robustness and the growing focus on set-pieces. “It could be more dynamic and more physical also,” he suggested.<\/p>\nHe added: “Only the most professional players will survive at the top, top level, I would say.” Jaissle also predicted that “there will be more and more so-called all-rounders” in football in the future – meaning defenders who attack, attackers who defend, and more.<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n Sky Sports’ Keith Downie explains the three reasons why Newcastle have allowed Bruno Guimaraes to leave the club for Premier League champions Arsenal.<\/span>“Players who are able to play in more positions, which makes total sense and makes it easier for the manager to change within the game or alter the formation. That is quite easy if the players understand it and know how to live your principles on the pitch.”<\/p>\n
That extends to the goalkeeper role with his preference for those who can be part of the build-up. “Goalkeeper is not a position by itself any more. It is completely included with the other guys. A goalkeeper has to have an understanding of all phases of the game.”<\/p>\n

And for all the focus on tactics, technique and physicality, motivation remains key to management.<\/p>\n
“I think the communication and the connection with the players is always the base for leadership and being a good coach,” he explained to Sky Sports<\/em>. “You really have to take care of that. I would always prioritise one on ones and face-to-face conversation.<\/p>\n“You really have to take care that you don’t have too much information. This is a big challenge. As a manager or coach, you know so much about tactics, but you cannot just give everything to the players. You have to really take care not to overwhelm them.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
