Growing doubts about competence
Schalke 04 is in third-to-last place in the 2nd Bundesliga after ten games. Instead of playing for direct promotion, the ailing Royal Blues are now concerned with not being passed through to the 3rd league. This will probably require improvements to the squad during the winter transfer period. According to the “PictureDue to growing doubts about their competence, sports director Peter Knäbel, whose contract expires at the end of the season and apparently will not be extended, and sports director André Hechelmann are no longer primarily responsible for deciding on these. This can be heard from club circles.
All market value changes from FC Schalke 04 explained in detail
Accordingly, the new coach Karel Geraerts, who started with a 0:4 at Karlsruher SC, should have the last word. The future chairman of the board, Matthias Tillmann, could also ensure that Knäbel and Hechelmann are disempowered. Although he will not take over until January 1, 2024, he is already fully involved in the club’s affairs.
The Gelsenkirchen team spent 4.6 million euros on new signings in the summer, compared to 19.35 million euros in income after relegation to the Bundesliga. Among others, Ron Schallenberg, Timo Baumgartl and Paul Seguin were signed, all of whom were redlined in the latest market value update for the 2nd Bundesliga. There were seven downgrades in total. One of the few bright spots in the squad, however, is 17-year-old Assan Ouédraogo, who, after an increase of a whopping 5.5 million to 6 million euros, is now, together with Ludovit Reis from Hamburger SV, the most valuable footballer in the German lower house of football.
