Not necesarilly. He might only be willing to manage in Austria if its for a champions league club. He may well see the championship as a more open pathway to managing in the more lucrative premier league. Other managers have.
Could be another cause for our delay. Maybe Svensson is our guy but he is waiting to see if Salzburg qualify for champions league before committing, and we are willing to wait an extra week or two to find out. Maybe we think he's worth waiting for and aren't ashamed at being his second choice. Austria's season finishes this weekend. RB Salzburg currently 2nd and need to finish top to get into champions league (2 points behind)
It said that Salzburg wanted to appoint Bo Svensson but he was only willing to join if they qualified for the champions league. And now they've moved on to Pep Lijnders.
For a long time, Bo Svensson was considered the optimal solution for the coaching position at FC Red Bull Salzburg. However, the Dane can only imagine a commitment if the team qualifies for the Champions League. Pep Lijnders is now the favourite. @sn_aktuell
Can read it either way. He's either wanting a champions league job, or he only wants to manage in Austria if he's also in the champions league. He may be willing to manage elsewhere outside of the champions league. All guesswork obvs.
