Red and white disappointment: Salzburg's bulls without a title and with a weak report card!
Red Bull Salzburg ends the 2024/2025 season in second place in the Austrian Bundesliga without winning a title. This marks the second titleless season in a row for the club. However, participation in the Champions League qualification is proving to be a bright spot and could save the season. In a current annual report, the assessment of the players is predominantly negative, although the performances of the individual players are assessed differently.
The goalkeeper position has been problematic this season. Alexander Schlager, who played 27 games for Salzburg, had to give up his place as number one at the start of the season due to an injury and was given a rating of 3. His competitor, Janis Blaswich, made too many mistakes in the autumn, his loan ends after one year and he is rated with a grade of 4. The young goalkeepers like Salko Hamzic and Jonas Krumrey were not used this season.
Player reviews
A positive exception is Joane Gadou, who stands out as the only bright spot in the defense with a grade of 1 and had a stabilizing effect there. Samson Baidoo also received a good rating of 2 because he showed significantly better performance under coach Letsch. In contrast, the testimony of Hendry Blank and Maximiliano Caufriez is catastrophic. While Blank's grade of 5 represents a disappointing return, Caufriez, as a transfer flop, was also punished with a 5.

On the offensive sector, Dorgeles Nene was the most accurate player with 13 goals, but also received a grade of 2. Oscar Gloukh impressed as a dribbling artist, scored nine goals in 26 games and was rated with a 2. Players like Karim Konaté, who had to miss a long time due to a torn cruciate ligament, were given a grade of 4. Despite his susceptibility to injury, Nicolás Capaldo impressed as a versatile player with a grade of B.
Overall, the season for Red Bull Salzburg was marked by many injuries and inconsistent performances, which had a negative impact on the team's strength. The demands on the club are high and the club management will be required to make the necessary changes to get back to the top next season.
