FC St. Pauli: Timo Schultz would obviously benefit from promotion

Despite the dismissal

FC St. Pauli is the team of the hour in the 2nd Bundesliga. The Hamburgers were in a relegation battle halfway through the season, but since then they have started a series of ten wins (league record) under new coach Fabian Hürzeler and are currently in fourth place, four points behind the relegation rank. The 30-year-old was promoted from assistant to head coach at the beginning of December after the separation from club legend Timo Schultz. How now the “Picture‘ reported that Schultz would benefit financially if the ‘Kiezkicker’ managed to rise.

Although the 45-year-old is no longer on the sidelines, his contract runs until 2024, which is why he continues to receive his basic salary. Only the victory bonuses in the second half of the season are eliminated, it is said. According to the newspaper, Schultz can expect a promotion bonus and an increase in salary if St. Pauli manages to make it back to the top of the German league after 2010 – at that time midfielder Schultz was a player on the team. The report leaves open the specific amounts involved.

Schultz had risen from youth coach to coach the first team at FCSP for the 2020/21 season and had coached them in a total of 92 games, in which he scored an average of 1.45 points per game. Under him, the Hamburg team finished tenth and fifth before he was relieved of his duties during the winter break (15th place) this season. According to “Bild”, his contract would have expired if he was relegated at the end of June.
