Last night, Newcastle announced the appointment of German coach Matthias Jaissle as the successor to Eddie Howe.
Howe resigned following a 12th-place finish in the recent Premier League season and several high-profile player sales. The attacking style of football he had showcased during his first three and a half years in charge was notably absent. Jaissle is ready to bring that style back.
Beyond his tactical approach, the 38-year-old manager has established three non-negotiable principles: trust, respect, and total commitment.
When asked what Newcastle fans can expect, he told the club’s official website: “Always proactive, very intense, aggressive, definitely vertical in our approach… that’s how we want to play football. I believe this fits perfectly with Newcastle’s DNA. There are also certain values that I consider non-negotiable. We just spoke with the staff about three core values I emphasize: trust, respect, and full dedication.
If everyone is united and moving in the same direction, it will be a truly successful journey. We have only three weeks left until the season starts. This is a transitional period. We are trying to build on what Eddie achieved here, the remarkable progress over the past few years, and simply aim to develop it further.”
The new coach also urged Newcastle supporters to remain loyal during this challenging transition.
“If the fans back us, I think this synergy is an incredible weapon we can use in the league. I look forward to meeting them at St James’ Park.
From the very beginning, everything will depend on intensity, on how we move forward without hesitation and immediately instill this DNA in the players. Honestly, I can’t wait.
Please support us as you have in the past so we can take this journey together. Right now, at this difficult moment, we are in a transition process, building on what already exists, what has been built so impressively. Now we are moving forward, and we need every single one of them in the stadium, in the city, and together with the players and staff, we can become a united force and a real weapon,” Jaissle said.
