Jaissle admits he is 'a bit scared' how referees will take his touchline style

According to BBC Sport, Matthias Jaissle struck a measured tone at his unveiling as Newcastle United head coach, but he warned that his touchline behaviour will be a different story.

Jaissle said he is "a bit scared" about how Premier League referees will react to his emotional style. He acknowledged that his conduct in the technical area is likely to attract attention from officials.

The new head coach admitted that his sideline persona can be intense, and he expects it to be tested in the Premier League. The implication is that referees and opposing managers will see a far more passionate figure on matchdays than the composed man at the podium.

Whether his approach will be embraced or punished by officials remains to be seen, but Jaissle made clear he does not plan to change who he is.
