2 December 2025
Award Crown for Jaissle
The German Matthias Jaissle, head coach of Al-Ahli Jeddah, capped his tenure with the club by receiving a special award.
Path, Achievements, and Awards
The German Football Ambassador organization announced Jaissle's win. The prize honors German football figures working abroad, spreading values like integrity, professionalism, and teamwork. Jaissle's career abroad includes a notable stint with Red Bull Salzburg from 2021 to 2023. Since 2023, he has steered Al-Ahli to two titles, including the 2025 AFC Champions League Elite, the club's first.
Season Highlights and Future
He also led Al-Ahli to the Saudi Super Cup at the start of this season, after beating Al-Qadisiyah in the semi-final and Al-Nassr in the final on penalties. The coach now has a chance to win a third trophy this season, having guided them to the semi-finals of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup, where they face Al Hilal in February.
His tactics are so sharp the whistle needs sunglasses.
If wins were jokes, Jaissle would headline every trophy night.
