Jaissle relishing opportunity at Newcastle despite exodus of key players

[p]Jaissle was recruited from Saudi Pro ‌League side [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/al-ahli-sc/0MHmoCY0/"]Al Ahli[/a] after Eddie Howe left last month, ‌with the German coach joining a club who had lost [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gordon-anthony/EFo95m2P/"]Anthony ‌Gordon[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tonali-sandro/fmQVO5TQ/"]Sandro Tonali[/a] and captain [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bruno-guimaraes/xtyKanzU/"]Bruno Guimaraes[/a] in quick succession.[/p][p][b]"It's ‌a challenge, a big challenge, always when there's a transitional period. But it's not time to complain, it doesn't make sense to see ‌the negative things,"[/b] Jaissle told reporters.[/p][p][b]"We want to ⁠see the chance in ‌that situation and that's our approach from day one. We are here ​to do our best job. We want to support the players, the current squad.[/b][/p][p][b]"There will be adjustments ​to see in the coming days, weeks. But for now it's only focused on the daily work, the work we can ⁠influence. That's all that ​matters now."[/b][/p][embed guid="1a458d86-eafd-4b62-a181-cc28f6f7a15c" url="https://x.com/NUFC/status/2087188508783906896" social-type="twitter" /][p]The 38-year-old coach arrived in [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/newcastle-utd/p6ahwuwJ/"]Newcastle[/a] having won two Austrian Bundesliga titles with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/salzburg/Olvehxrl/"]Red Bull Salzburg[/a] before leading Al Ahli to back-to-back AFC Champions League crowns.[/p][p]He remained tight-lipped about new signings.[/p][p][b]"Obviously, ‌in that transition phase, the players who left the club were great players, great characters, experienced players. This is now a vacuum,"[/b] he said.[/p][p][b]"Either we adjust something in the squad, by signing these players, these profiles, or other players need to step up and fill these positions, these leadership roles. I'm quite optimistic, we can work in both scenarios."[/b][/p][image alt="Newcastle's upcoming games" id="12a12f73-ea4e-4056-9909-995aefe7b408" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="2506a6de-7bee-45ca-8cec-6fd36a21f751" original-width="1200" original-height="1200" /][p]Jaissle said he had a clear vision of how he wants his team ‌to play.[/p][p][b]"The phrase how Newcastle should play like is front-footed, ​intense, aggressive and of course also successful. In the end, ‌it's all about what I can say and it's also why I'm sitting here,"[/b] he said.[/p][p][b]"The approach we have as a coaching team and the identity of Newcastle is famed for, it's so linked so close together - which ⁠is a perfect fit ⁠in my eyes and that's ‌going to be exciting."[/b][/p]
