According to reports on Monday, the Austrian Bundesliga team LASK is ready to name João Sacramento as their new head coach. Sacramento’s two-year deal is almost finalised.
The 36-year-old Portuguese coach, who has experience working as an assistant to well-known managers, is anticipated to provide the Linz-based team a new tactical perspective.
Sacramento formerly assisted Christophe Galtier at Paris Saint-Germain and Lille, where he helped Lille win the 2021 Ligue 1 title, and Jose Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur and AS Roma.
In coaching circles, Sacramento is considered a rising star with a bright future because of his unique tactics and analytical attitude.
After leaving PSG in 2023, Sacramento’s transfer to LASK is his first senior management position.
The Austrian Bundesliga team, which is presently in the middle of the league, hopes to use his expertise to move up the rankings and contend for European qualifying.
Within a few days, an official announcement is anticipated, and Sacramento will start getting ready for LASK’s next games.
