Struggling Salzburg fires coach Lijnders ahead of Klopp's arrival at Red Bull

Hindustan Times  

SALZBURG, Austria — Salzburg fired coach Pepijn Lijnders on Monday, with the club 10 points off the lead in the Austrian league and unlikely to advance in the Champions League. He was fired two weeks before Klopp begins work leading drinks giant Red Bull's troubled network of soccer clubs, which includes Salzburg. “We have therefore become convinced that our team needs a new impulse under new management, even if we continued to hope for a turnaround until the end.” Salzburg is fifth in the Austrian league after 16 games, 10 points behind leader Sturm Graz — the defending champion who ended Salzburg's run of 10 straight titles. Klopp will begin his new role as head of global soccer at Red Bull on Jan. 1, overseeing its international network of clubs including Salzburg.
