Relegation as target: Christian Gross should be Schalke’s new coach – sport

Schalke’s assistant in dire need should be a Swiss. 66-year-old Christian Gross, who announced his resignation as coach at “sportpanorma” in May, should protect the club from relegation from the Bundesliga. This is what Ruhr News and the image unanimously after a board meeting Wednesday night.

There, the highly criticized sports director Jochen Schneider obtained permission to send his preferred candidate to the rescue of Schalke next summer. The club did not initially confirm the staff in the evening.

4th coach of the season

If this happens over Christmas, Gross could lead the training Monday as the successor to Huub Stevens’ stopgap. The former Basel, GC and YB coach would already be the fourth coach from the bottom of the table without winning this season. The traditional club had previously parted ways with David Wagner and Manuel Baum before Schalke’s “manager of the century” took over Stevens for two games.
