Salzburg's path to the championship: Freund sees the chances of title grow!

In the current season of the Admiral Bundesliga, the championship race remains exciting. At the moment, all six teams in the master group still have chances for the title. FC Red Bull Salzburg, under the direction of the new coach Thomas Letsch, has been undefeated in the last six games and is still a hot favorite on the championship title, despite a deficit of four points to the top.

Salzburg has already won all three encounters against important competitors such as Austria Vienna, Sturm Graz and the WAC this season. These successes consolidated the assessment of LASK coach Markus Schopp, who sees Salzburg as the strongest title contender. Ex-sports director Christoph Freund, who moved to Bayern Munich in September 2023, also optimistic about the opportunities of the association.

Freund emphasizes that the impressive series of titles in recent years is not a matter of course. The last season Sturm Graz ended the dominance of Salzburg. According to Freund, the current situation, however, is an opportunity to make clever decisions for the future of the association. He is pleased with Rouven Schröder's obligations as sports director and Thomas Letsch as head coach. Freund knows Letsch from times together and describes him as a calm and experienced trainer who fits Salzburg well.

Internal considerations show that Freund Letsch was already considering the coaching post in 2017, but chose Marco Rose at the time. He describes Letsch's style of play as a "Perfect Fit" for the club. This positive mood in the team could be crucial for the further challenges of the season.
