The DFB women were convincing at the European Championship. Schalke’s sports director is now talking about the trainer in men’s football.
Sports director Peter Knäbel from Bundesliga promoted FC Schalke 04 also believes that national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg is capable of a job in men’s football. “Technically, that’s clear to me. Definitely yes, she could do it,” said Knäbel of the “Bild” newspaper. “However, her contract with the DFB runs until 2023. And she is needed as a role model so that she can continue to advance women’s football. Where she is now, she is spot on.”
Voss-Tecklenburg once brought Knäbel to the Swiss women’s national team. On Sunday she lost the European Championship final against England with the DFB selection. “The time could come for a trainer in the men’s Bundesliga. It would also be desirable. Only: The discussion must not degenerate into a marketing gimmick. In Switzerland I hired a professional trainer for the youth sector. And that worked well “Knaebel stressed.
