Oliver David took the step to Salzburg with high expectations. When he took office in the summer of 2023, he was inexperienced at this level, but he quickly proved his potential.

This was also confirmed by Laola1 by always concentrating the players on the essential.

This attitude not only seems to motivate the players, but also to raise their performance to a new level.

He has the chance to create a lasting legacy in Salzburg and to drive his career decisively.
