The "Bulls" disappointed in the Champions League and only finished fifth in the Austrian Bundesliga in the winter. Managing director Stephan Reiter and sporting director Rouven Schröder came to the conclusion that "in far too many games, we fell far short of our own expectations and goals".
In 28 competitive matches under the 41-year-old Lijnders, Salzburg only managed 13 wins. There were also seven draws and eight defeats. A new coach, who has yet to be named, is expected to be in place at the start of training on January 3.
