While Pep Lijnders initially had success at Liverpool, his tenure at RB Salzburg was marked by a disappointing decline, with the team finishing fifth and struggling significantly in the Champions League, leading to his sacking.
Despite guiding RB Salzburg to the league phase of the Champions League, Lijnders saw the team suffer greatly in the tournament, losing five of six matches, an aggregate score that starkly highlighted their struggles.
In a joint statement, CEO Stephan Reiter expressed dissatisfaction with Lijnders' management, stating, "It was clear to see that in many of our matches we have been far short of our own requirements and aims."
Lijnders' departure came after a season characterized by a significant downward spiral for Salzburg, having been ten points adrift at a crucial juncture, leading to the decision for new management.
