Because his work at FC Schalke 04 is appreciated, the Knappen would like to keep manager Rouven Schröder. That this will also work out for the time being, they announced on Thursday.
That “we”, meaning also he, “are already planning for the summer”, Rouven Schröder had announced at the beginning of this week. That he will stay at FC Schalke in the medium term – after all, there are rumours of an Eberl successor in Mönchengladbach – not yet.
On Thursday, the manager then let his employer know that he would “stay beyond the summer”. The Schalker announced this in a club statement.
The 46-year-old, who had previously worked for FSV Mainz 05, joined the Bundesliga relegated side last summer, who are fourth in the lower division after 20 matchdays – within striking distance of the promotion places.
