In his own words, Gerhard Struber is a hot commodity.
The New York Red Bulls manager gave a season wrap-up interview with Austrian outlet Kurier following a playoff loss that “hurt a lot but has now been digested.” The ambitious rebuild – featuring “new players, guys from different cultures who at times could not support the intensity of [the tactics] and were injured” – was made all the more difficult by the COVID-19 pandemic, which shortened a stop-and-start preseason. The team managed to persevere and overcome a dismal summer stretch, lending a positive outlook to next year, if the Austrian is around to lead the charge.
