According to SkyAustria reporter Gerhard Krabath on Saturday morning, an agreement has been reached for Barnsley FC manager Gerhard Struber to join New York Red Bulls on a three-year contract. A reported €2 million fee has been arranged to purchase Struber’s rights.
Gerhard #Struber hat sich entschieden und übernimmt den Trainerjob bei @NewYorkRedBulls. Dreijahresvertrag. 2 Mio. Euro Ablöse lässt sich Red Bull die Rückholaktion kosten. Satte Summe für einen, den man vor nicht allzu langer Zeit als @FCLiefering-Coach geschasst hat.

A former Austrian domestic league midfielder and longtime academy and reserves coach with Red Bull Salzburg, the 43-year-old Struber has quickly emerged as one of Europe’s most promising young managers in the last two years.
