At FC Schalke 04, the search for a successor to the suspended coach Frank Kramer is in full swing. It is conceivable that the seventh trainer of the district club will be announced on Thursday within two years. After Kramer’s leave of absence on Wednesday, the Bundesliga penultimate moved the non-public training session on Thursday from morning to afternoon. On Sunday, the royal blues have to play at Hertha BSC after the severe cup defeat at TSG Hoffenheim (1: 5) and five competitive bankruptcies in a row.
Tuchel, Magath & Co.: These German coaches are currently without a club
The new coach will probably be responsible by then. The favorite is Thomas Reis, who was on leave from VfL Bochum a month ago but is still under contract there. The 49-year-old was supposed to switch from VfL to Schalke in the summer. However, this failed at the time because of his employment with the Bochum team. According to information from “sports1“ come with Bruno Labbadia. The 56-year-old canceled the person responsible for Peter Knäbel, with whom the veteran coach had already worked at HSV. Labbadia was the head coach of Hertha BSC until January 2021, where he had to go after 28 games and an average of 1.07 points.
It is almost impossible that promotion coach and club icon Mike Büskens will act as head coach again on an interim basis. The man from Düsseldorf, who had worked as Kramer’s assistant, categorically ruled this out again and again. Schalke therefore only explicitly named assistant coach Matthias Kreutzer as the temporarily responsible coach for the first units after the separation from Kramer.
Ex-Schalke coach Domenico Tedesco, who was also speculated about, is almost certainly not coming. In any case, the “squires” are forced to save. The new trainer shouldn’t cost much, if anything at all. In addition to Kramer, Dimitrios Grammozis is also on the payroll of the cash-strapped Gelsenkirchener. So far, S04 have collected six points from ten Bundesliga matchdays – since 2011/12 the club had only started weaker in the relegation season.
