Union Berlin head coach Urs Fischer has set his sights on making a mark on the European stage after guiding the Bundesliga newcomers to a stunning sixth-place finish in their debut season.

Priske's men punched their ticket to the UEFA Europa Conference League playoffs after finishing just one point behind fifth-placed Cologne.

Union Berlin's Impressive Season

Union Berlin's rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Having won promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2019, they have quickly established themselves as one of the league's most exciting teams.

Their success is built on a strong defensive foundation and a dynamic attacking style that has seen them score more goals than any other team outside the top four.

Priske's European Ambitions

Priske is confident that Union Berlin can continue their impressive form in Europe. He told reporters, "We have high expectations for the European evenings here. We want to show that we can compete at this level."

The Swiss coach has a proven track record in Europe, having led Midtjylland to the Europa League group stage in 2016 and 2019.

Union Berlin's European Credentials

Union Berlin will face Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam in the Europa Conference League playoffs. Should they progress, they will be guaranteed a place in the group stage.

The German side has a good chance of competing with the likes of Dutch giants Ajax and Turkish powerhouse Besiktas in the group stage.

Conclusion

Union Berlin's meteoric rise has been one of the most unexpected stories in European football in recent years.

With Priske at the helm, they have a real chance of continuing their remarkable journey and making a name for themselves on the European stage.
