Schalke’s assistant in dire need should be Christian Gross. The 66-year-old from Zurich is supposed to protect the Revierclub from relegation in the Bundesliga. This is reported by “Ruhr Nachrichten” and “Bild” in unison after a board meeting on Wednesday evening. There, the highly criticized sports director Jochen Schneider obtained permission to send his preferred candidate to the rescue of Schalke next summer. The association did not initially confirm staff overnight.
If this happens over Christmas, Gross could lead the training Monday as the successor to Huub Stevens’ stopgap. The former head coach of GC and FCB would already be the fourth coach from the tail of the table without winning this season. The traditional club had previously parted ways with David Wagner and Manuel Baum before the Schalkes “coach of the century” took over Stevens for two games. Gross had been out of work since February. He was released from Al-Ahli, a Saudi club.
Schalke with a miserable 2020
A Herculean task awaits the new coach. After the recent 1-0 loss at home to promoted Arminia Bielefeld, Schalke are already six points behind relegation position 16. Tasmanian Bundesliga Berlin’s negative record of 31 games without a win is not far off for the club. traditional. In 2020, Schalke only managed a victory in the Bundesliga, on 17 January in a 2-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Gross should reportedly only receive a low base salary, but receive a generous bonus in case of relegation.
