While most clubs are sacking their managers, Red Bull clubs sell them on or just move them around inside their own system, before the big guns comes to hire them. Ralph Hasenhuttl was previously in charge of RB Leipzig before given the green light to join Southampton in 2018. He is still at Southampton and soon three years since he arrived.
Players are no different and looking back in the mirror a few years you do find a long list of very interesting names being at some time on their route to stardom at a Red Bull club. Erling Braut Haaland, Saido Mane and Timo Werner are all of them with a past of RB. Great step for all three before sold to other clubs and getting a good learning and much time on the pitch as their careers today are flourishing at the very highest level.
