The New York Red Bulls are drawing on the image of their Austrian sister club to make a difference in Major League Soccer.

“Gerhard is a brilliant coach and we are very happy to welcome him to the club,” Thelwell said in a statement. “Gerhard’s taste for play and delight in the progression of young people are consistent with our philosophy and, above all, as a user is integrated into our culture. We hope he comes here and runs in combination with the goals we’ve set ourselves as a club. “

Most of his playing years were spent with SV Austria Salzburg, which later became Red Bull Salzburg after its acquisition through Red Bull GmbH, and much of Struber’s training. acquired delight at the head of the club’s youth teams.

Su he finished after only 21 games when Barnsley called, using Struber to retain his last place in the delegation. Barnsley remained at the 2020-21 EFL Championship, but only thanks to a trouble deduction for Wigan Athletic that he biased the board and kept Barnsley in a position above the relegation zone.
