After the sudden resignation of sporting director Max Eberl, Borussia Mönchengladbach is looking for a strong new man with a high level of footballing expertise. Rumor has it that Rouven Schröder from the second division club FC Schalke 04 is on the list of candidates for the foals. The 46-year-old responded to the latest reports on Tuesday.
As part of a media round, Rouven Schröder was repeatedly asked about a possible engagement in Gladbach, but did not let himself be lured out of his reserve.
“I feel good, I need the energy for Schalke, I don’t have to say more about that,” Schröder tried to keep the speculation small: “No topic came up, so I don’t have to close it either.”
He has “a contract with Schalke” and “simply wants to be successful there,” added the former professional. Sentences that you have read hundreds of times when players or officials want to keep all options open. In any case, Schröder did not formulate a clear denial.
FC Schalke 04: Rouven Schröder is “already planning the summer”
Rather, the Schalke manager is looking ahead. “We’ve started something here and have already invested a lot. We’re already planning for the summer and have ideas,” emphasized Schröder.
He is currently concerned with nothing other than the sporting success of the Royal Blues and has “thought for many hours about how to push the cart”, emphasized the Sauerland native, who “is completely absorbed in the task”.
Schröder started his job at FC Schalke, which had just been relegated, in June 2021 and then, together with sports director Peter Knäbel, pushed ahead with the complete restructuring of the player squad. It is not known how long he was contractually bound to the Ruhrpott club.
