Pellegrino Matarazzo and VfB Stuttgart got their Bundesliga campaign off the ground on Saturday with a win over Mainz.

After a narrow 3-2 defeat to Freiburg in their Bundesliga opener last weekend, the Italian-American coach made a few changes to his line-up, leading to an impressive win in the end.

Jesse Marsch has claimed a personal accolade as he's been named Coach of the Year in Austria.

The news, which was announced on Sunday, adds to the resume of the 46-year-old who was appointed as head coach of Red Bull Salzburg in 2019. He would go on to set milestones as he became the first American-born coach to win domestic honors - the Austrian Bundesliga and Austrian Cup titles. He also became the first American to coach in the UEFA Champions League.

Taylor Booth, Malik Tillman, and Chris Richards capped off their season with Bayern Munich II as champions.

Saturday was a day of celebrations for Bayern Munich as the first team topped off their season with the German Cup. Meanwhile, in Kaiserslautern, the reserves brought more good news to the organization as they finished on top of the mountain to win the 3. Liga title.

Konrad de la Fuente has committed his future to Barcelona as he signed a new deal with the Spanish giants.

News of the deal, which was announced on Sunday, will see the 18-year-old remain at Barcelona through 2022 with an option for another two years. His release clause will move up from 50 million to 100 million dollars should he be promoted to the first team before the end of the deal.

Pellegrino Matarazzo has put VfB Stuttgart in prime position for promotion to the German Bundesliga after their most recent win.

The 2019-2020 season has been a special one for American coaches in Europe. Jesse Marsch, of course, has been grabbing many of the headlines with his success so far at Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga. But in Germany, Matarazzo has started to turn heads as he has virtually locked up automatic promotion for his team.

The Austrian Bundesliga resumed its season on Tuesday, with Erik Palmer-Brown stepping foot on the field.

Like the majority of leagues across Europe, Austria shut down its own following the global spread of Covid-19. But as the number of infections starts to lower and the country begins to slowly reopen, that has allowed the top-flight league to carry on with 10 games left to play.

Jesse Marsch made history on Friday as he led Red Bull Salzburg to victory in the Austrian Cup Final.

The achievement, which came after a 5-0 win over Austria Lustenau, marks the first piece of silverware for the American coach since he appointed to the post of the Austrian Bundesliga team last year.

VfB Stuttgart has locked down Pellegrino Matarazzo to a new contract as he leads the team to the brink of promotion.

The 2. Bundesliga team announced on Thursday that they and the Italian-American coach have agreed to a one-year extension to his contract, which will now run until June 2022. This comes on the heels of the team's latest win - a 3-2 victory over fellow promotion chasers Hamburg.
