Daniel Farke, who has been traded as the new coach of FC Schalke 04, can imagine Jobs in the Bundesliga and the Premier League after his departure from the Russian first division club FK Krasnodar.
“Based on my CV, it is obvious that these are the two markets that suit me best. I know and appreciate England, Germany is my home and the Bundesliga is a top product, also internationally,” said Farke of the “Süddeutsche Zeitung “.
The contract of the 45-year-old from East Westphalia in Krasnodar was terminated by mutual agreement after the start of the Russian attack on Ukraine.
Farke (formerly also Borussia Dortmund II) only signed for two and a half years in southern Russia in January.
He left the club after just seven weeks without having played a single game as a coach.
Daniel Farke is looking for a “project that I am 100 percent convinced of”
He has very clear ideas for his next engagement. “I like it when I can take a club to a higher level. For example: forming a team from a middle-class club that can play in Europe,” said Farke: “Or a Europa League team in a Champions To transform a league team. (..) Taking the next step, the next level and winning mentality in a team, in a club: That’s what excites me.”
Farke, who led English second division club Norwich City twice to the Premier League, did not answer directly whether he would soon be seen in the Bundesliga.
“I’ll only take on a project that I’m 100 percent convinced of. And where I have the feeling that the club’s ideas and mine are absolutely the same. When and where that will be the case – we’ll see.” said farke.
