Frank Kramer is coming under increasing pressure at FC Schalke 04. Despite the recent defeat in the Bundesliga against TSG Hoffenheim, the trainer can probably continue for the time being.
Noisy “picture” Kramer will be at the Schalke bench on Tuesday in the DFB Cup against TSG Hoffenheim (8:45 p.m.) and on Sunday (5:30 p.m.) in the Bundesliga duel with Hertha BSC. In this context, the tabloid writes of a ” Grace period” for the 50-year-old.
The last Bundesliga game against TSG Hoffenheim was actually considered a personal final for Kramer. But at 0:3, the team showed good approaches, at least in the first half, but in the end, as so often in the past few weeks, were left empty-handed.
Sports director Rouven Schröder left the coach’s future open after the game. “It’s just about working things out,” said the S04 manager at “DAZN” and added: “Nothing is certain. Frank Kramer is our coach – and yet we will analyze the game, that’s very clear.”
FC Schalke 04 is stuck in the table basement
“Of course I’m just as disappointed as the guys sitting in the dressing room,” said Kramer himself after the home defeat against Hoffenheim: “It’s clear that you have to let it sink in first.”
In the media, Thomas Reis, who was fired from VfL Bochum a few weeks ago, was considered the top favorite for coaching at FC Schalke 04 should Kramer actually lose his job.
But the coach still seems to get two more chances in Gelsenkirchen. FC Schalke 04 initially did not comment on the future of the coach on Saturday.
With just six points from the first 10 games, the royal blues are back in the bottom of the table after returning to the Bundesliga.
