The fact that Kees Van Wonderen Schalke 04 is leaving is decided. But that was actually planned for the summer. Now that could change.
Schalke trainer Kees van Wonderen should apparently leave the club with immediate effect. As the “Bild”, the “WAZ” and the TV station Sky, report, a discharge of the Dutch is likely this weekend.
After the 0-2 home bankruptcy against SC Paderborn on Friday, which could have been higher, there was a crisis meeting of the club bosses around sports director Youri Mulder. “The location is very serious,” Mulder is also quoted. “We will think about everything, that’s for sure. We have a responsibility towards the club. It is about the club and not about individuals.”
Statements that indicate an immediate separation. Van Wonderens in summer has been decided for two weeks. Actually, the Dutch should still sit on the bench at the remaining games. But the way Schalke recently appeared did not like the fans or the executive floor.
Schalke has been without a win for four games, the relegation is not yet secured. Even a crash in 15th place would have followed, because then Schalke would play in the amateur pot of the DFB Cup, which would mean a strong primary opponent.
An immediate from Van Wonderens would also raise the question of whether the club is setting up a long -term solution or prefers to put the last two games against Düsseldorf and Elversberg. If the bosses choose the second variant, assistant coach Tim Hoogland would be the likely choice. Another option would be U23 coach Jakob Fimpel, who had already helped out in the first half of the season when Karel Geraerts, van Wonderen’s predecessor, had to go.
