Yes, but there is a gigantic difference. RB Salzburg are champions of their domestic league. Made it to the knockout stages of Champions League. When Burnley took Wood, Taylor we were in Championship trying to keep our best players to give us a chance to get promoted.Quote:

Salzburg won the Austrian Bundesliga in seasons 2006–07, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2011–12, 2013–14, 2014–15, 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2019–20, 2020–21, 2021–22, a big fish in a relatively small pool, able to win before, during and after Marsch was coach there. He lasted less than a season at Leipzig.Quote:

Whether they are any good we will see come August.
If nothing else, he will have a much better understanding of the pool of players at his disposal next season and the performance of “his” team can and will be judged accordingly.
Bielsa would be a hard act to follow for anyone and I hope Marsch is able to make things work.
We shall see…
