Hasenhüttl celebrates yet another goal for Leipzig
Ad

The Austrian has managed to do the seemingly impossible and shake up the German top division. The manager of RB Leipzig (our #5 team of the Year by the way) took charge of the ambitious young club at the beginning of the season – and pardon the pun – has given them wings.

Playing a refreshing brand of all-out attack football, they were top of the league for the majority of this season, and are now 2nd in the league. That is the highest any newly-promoted club has finished in the top 5 leagues of Europe, ever.

If that’s not an achievement worth celebrating, we don’t know what is.

Their record in the top flight has been the stuff of envy for a lot of clubs, and many of them are against the way Red Bull owns and operates the club. He’s got an amazing record at Leipzig; with just two losses in his 17 games in charge (a win% of 64.71%) – and if it wasn’t for a bit of reckless headlessness from his Swedish talisman Emil Fosberg might even have made a fight of it against mighty Bayern Munich.

Arsenal's reported interest in the Austrian is a testament to his growing reputation in the footballing world.
