Danny Rohl has guided Red Bull Salzburg into the Europa League league phase without losing a match.
The former Rangers head coach completed a second European qualifying tie since joining the Austrian club this summer.
Salzburg followed a 1-0 first-leg win away to Swedish champions Mjallby with a 3-0 victory at home to secure a 4-0 aggregate success. Rohl had already led Salzburg past Pafos by 4-3 on aggregate earlier this month in Europa League qualifying.
Pafos played in last season’s Champions League league phase and collected nine points, including wins against Villarreal and Slavia Prague.
Salzburg will be alongside Celtic in Friday’s Europa League draw. Rohl has also started domestic football unbeaten, with two wins and one draw from his first three league games.

Derek McInnes speaks as Rangers confirm 12th summer transfer
Salzburg have not lost in any competition under the German coach, who has quickly gained support from fans during his opening weeks.
The situation is sharply different for Rangers manager Derek McInnes. Rangers have taken one point from their first two Premiership matches and are already five points behind Celtic.
Their Conference League exit in Czechia means they will not play European football this season. McInnes is the first Rangers manager since Pedro Caixinha in 2017 to fail to take the club into a European competition.
Supporters showed their anger after the final whistle, directing jeers and gestures towards McInnes and his players. Pressure is now building on the Ibrox manager, while Rohl enjoys a start in Austria.
