Daniel Beichler has taken over as head coach of FC Red Bull Salzburg with immediate effect. The Austrian, who most recently coached our co-operation club FC Liefering, has signed a contract with the Red Bulls until 30 June 2028.

Coach following the Salzburg Way

Daniel Beichler is a well-known figure in Salzburg and throughout Austrian football. The former Austrian international has a wealth of experience in professional football, having played in the Austrian Bundesliga (144 appearances) and in other European leagues.

He began his coaching career in 2016 as a youth coach at JAZ Süd. From the summer of 2020, Beichler has worked in Salzburg, where he coached the Red Bull Academy's U14, U16 and U18 teams (winning two league titles) plus the UEFA Youth League team – which he led to the Final Four with impressive performances – and then FC Liefering for over two years.
