With just four points on the tally and last on the table, relegation competitor Bielefeld awaits Saturday: this is the situation Bundesliga club Schalke 04 is currently in. And in this situation, it is said that the club has separated from manager Manuel Baum, according to media reports. For the time being, former coach Huub Stevens will take over.
Asked by the sports information service sid, the club did not want to comment on it, not even when asked if the press conference scheduled for the afternoon with Manuel Baum is still scheduled. Stevens could not be reached at first.
Stevens, who sits on Schalke’s supervisory board, reportedly recommended the club to hire the experienced rescuer Friedhelm Funkel. “They haven’t contacted me yet and I don’t care about it,” Funkel told sid on Friday. After his engagement to Fortuna Düsseldorf, Funkel had declared that his coaching career was over.
Baum had only taken over Schalke at the end of September with a contract until 2022. Since then there has been no upward trend. The Royal Blues have not won 28 Bundesliga games throughout the seasons.
