Matthias Jaissle has broken the silence following the departure of Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal. Presented as Newcastle’s new coach, the German technician recognized that the loss of the Brazilian captain, transferred for €87.5 million, was a hard blow, but he refuses to make it an excuse for the coming season.
“ We lost some very important players, but it’s also an opportunity. We can see things negatively and make excuses, but that’s not the way we think. “, Jaissle said, as quoted by The Sun. Eddie Howe’s successor also confirmed that he was not involved in the decision regarding Guimarães’ transfer, which was taken before his arrival. However, he was confident for the future, ensuring that Newcastle will recruit in order to compensate for the departures of several executives. “ We have the means to act on the market and, when the season starts, there will be new faces “, he promised.
