The former Al-Ahli head manager, chosen by the team’s Saudi owners to replace Eddie Howe, admits ‘vacuum’ after sale of three key footballers Matthias Jaissle has been described as “fire” and a “rockstar”, but his formal “unveiling” as Newcastle’s head manager revealed a rather more considered and conservative character than advertised. In addition, at the precise moment the clock struck 3pm on Tuesday the 38-year-old German walked into a packed media suite at St James’ Park.
Reports also note that before taking his seat on the stage Jaissle, wearing a smartly understated open necked suit complete with a silk pocket square, took a deep breath and jumped down into audience, making a point of shaking everyone’s hand. Further context suggests it was a courteous and classy gesture.
