What is a 'reunion' in football?

A 'reunion' in football refers to a player joining a club where they've previously worked with the manager or another key figure. Dedic reuniting with Matthias Jaissle at Newcastle is a good example, as they won the Austrian title together at Red Bull Salzburg. This existing relationship can help a player settle in quickly.
