Rouven Schröder: New sports manager at FC Red Bull Salzburg!

Salzburg, Österreich - FC Red Bull Salzburg has signed Rouven Schröder as the new sports manager with immediate effect, as the club and RB Leipzig announced. The change takes place in the context of non -satisfactory sporting development and increased requirements in the areas of transfers, player development and scouting. Schröder, who previously acted as a sports director at Leipzig, emphasizes his "100 % identification" with the talent development of the association. His predecessor, Christoph Freund, moved to Bayern Munich in September 2023, so that this position was created to meet the increased expectations.

until the handover is completely handed over, Schröder is supported by Bernhard Seonbuchner, who will soon return to the Red Bull Akademie. According to Leipzig's sports manager Marcel Schäfer, the talks about Schröder's change were "transparent and professional". This happened despite the current crisis situation of the club, which had to accept a 1-5 defeat against VfL Wolfsburg at the weekend in the Bundesliga. Schröder, who previously worked at Werder Bremen, 1. FSV Mainz and Schalke 04, expresses his anticipation for the challenge in Salzburg and hopes for an early reversal.

His commitment in Salzburg should bring a breath of fresh air and new ideas into sporting management. Managing Director Stephan Reiter emphasizes that Schröder’s extensive experience in football will be decisive for the long -term development of the club, since the association continues to stand for outstanding success and talent promotion. This change was considered necessary by many to give the club the desired direction and is viewed as a critical step in the reaction to the changing requirements in modern football, as well as The Tagesspiegel reported.
