Matthias Jaissle: Named Coach of the Month in Saudi Arabia!

Matthias Jaissle, the former coach of FC Red Bull Salzburg, has established himself as the new coach of Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia. Jaissle took over as coach shortly before the start of the 2023/24 season after signing a three-year contract agreement with the club. His appointment followed Marco Silva's rejection of the offer, making Jaissle the ideal choice despite the challenges that accompanied his early days.

Jaissle faced fan protests in his first season, but he stuck to his position and led Al Ahli to impressive results. In April 2025, the team managed to achieve three wins and one draw in the league. Al Ahli also reached the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, which underlines the club's ambitions.

Successful award

Thanks to these successful performances, Jaissle was named Coach of the Month by the league. His coaching skills, which he has already demonstrated through two Austrian championships and a cup victory with Salzburg, have earned him status as a sought-after coach. He is now also linked with German team RB Leipzig.

In his new role, Jaissle coaches players of international reputation, including stars such as Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino and Édouard Mendy. It remains to be seen how his career in the Saudi Arabian league will develop.
