Abdulhafiz TeslimMatthias Jaissle has delivered a brutal response to one of his biggest critics after finally securing his first competitive victory as Newcastle United manager.
The German coach had been under growing scrutiny after a difficult start to life at St James’ Park, with questions already being raised about his age, experience and whether he was ready to handle the pressure that comes with managing Newcastle.
One particular pundit had gone even further, reportedly suggesting that Jaissle could need as many as 10 matches before recording his first victory and dismissing him as a “baby coach with baby ideas.”
But after Newcastle finally got over the line, Jaissle appeared to have something to say.
And he certainly did not hold back.
Speaking after the victory, the Newcastle boss addressed the prediction that he would have to wait 10 games before tasting success.
«🗣️ “He said it would take me 10 games before I got my first win with Newcastle.”»
That prediction has now been proven wrong.
Jaissle’s Newcastle side secured their first competitive victory, giving the manager the perfect opportunity to respond to those who had questioned his appointment.
The German then appeared to take aim at the pundit’s own managerial and playing achievements.
«🗣️ “I don’t expect much from someone who has only one trophy to his name throughout his entire professional career. I already have six, and I’m still a young coach.”»
The statement will undoubtedly generate plenty of discussion among Newcastle supporters, particularly because Jaissle has repeatedly been forced to answer questions surrounding his lack of Premier League experience.
The 38-year-old is one of the younger managers in the division, making his appointment a major gamble for Newcastle. Football365 recently highlighted exactly that issue, noting that replacing a popular manager while overseeing a changing squad could make Jaissle’s job particularly difficult.
But rather than allowing those doubts to affect him, Jaissle appears determined to use them as motivation.
And his next comment was even more personal.
«🗣️ “He failed as a player and he’s still failing as a pundit.”»
That is the sort of response that is guaranteed to create headlines.
For Jaissle, however, the most important thing is that his team finally have a victory to show for their efforts.
«🗣️ “He called me a ‘baby coach with baby ideas.’ Well, I’ve just got my first victory. This is only the beginning.”»
That final sentence could prove to be the most significant.
Jaissle knows one victory will not suddenly silence every critic. Newcastle are expected to compete at the highest level, and the German will be judged over the course of the season rather than one night.
But the result has given him something he desperately needed: momentum.
The Newcastle project is still in its early stages, with a number of new players adapting to the manager’s methods and the squad going through significant changes.
That means there is still plenty of work ahead.
However, Jaissle now has the perfect response whenever his doubters bring up the difficult beginning.
He can point to the result.
The “baby coach” has his first Newcastle victory.
And judging by his latest comments, Jaissle has no intention of stopping there.
