After concluding his playing days in Austria with Red Bull Salzburg, he took up a role in their well-esteemed setup.

Since, he has moved to China, linking up with Roger Schmidt following his time in Austria with Salzburg, and pastures new now await the former Hamburg player at St Mary’s.

But Salzburg’s ethos and strategy of the pitch is not dissimilar to that of Southampton’s; there is an emphasis on youth development and ensuring that a pathway to the first team is established.
