Is ANDRÉ BREITENREITER the right coach at Schalke?

“I do not care what went before or not. I am pleased rather to this new challenge in a great club,” said Breitenreiter in his inaugural interview. That He is the “image” was this newspaper, suggests that he has understood the dimension Schalke already on his first day. Schalke take their disputes known like publicly about the tabloid from.

After all, his new boss Horst Heldt is followed at the Coaches, his firm intention not to adjust the available coach with the best concept and with the more glamorous names. A convincing plan was the person in charge at the end of apparently more important than the appeal of Marc Wilmots, who helped as a hero of the ’97 generation to win the UEFA Cup by Schalke. And would the also come willingly.

Where the “Kicker” speculates that the decision against Wilmots has fallen not only from technical reasons. The former striker had a brilliant addition to salary also demanded not to be able to work under Heldt, but on par with the embattled manager in the hierarchy. This loss of power did not want Heldt. “It is true that we have last week talks with Schalke out, but then it quickly became clear that we conceptually difficult to come together,” the Belgian national team coach is quoted in “Kicker”

Heldt.: “Breitenreiter can discipline team”

That Wilmots Schalke now “bad style” accuses because the club undertook behind his back Breitenreiter and communicated well immediately, however, is strange. Because there are also good technical arguments for this decision. Although Wilmots working successfully as Belgian national team coach, but benefits from the quality of a gifted generation of players. As a club coach he could never convince. Quite contrary to width rider who was both the fourth division TSV Havelse (2011-2013) as well as in Paderborn (2013-2015) remarkably successful.

The new hopefuls Schalke was “before a young, brave coach who is not afraid uncomfortable decisions, “said Heldt. In Paderborn the successor to the hapless Roberto Di Matteo had “proven that he can continue to develop talent and knows how to discipline a team to shape and to do better”. From Breitenreiter now will determine whether Heldt and also supervisory board chairman Clemens Tonnies, which by most followers, the main culprit is given the dire Schalke crash, recover again.

Heldt has been announced that the new Schalke will “not happen overnight” play those football, “we desire to Schalke”, width Reiter will “get time”. But first progress should be recognized, of course, soon, otherwise Heldt device permanently in the line of fire. And supervisory board chairman Clemens Tonnies has to face up to the members in the year to the election. Without sporting success in the coming season, he will find it difficult to maintain his position at the club.

Width rider is therefore such a thing as the last cartridge of the ailing club management. If you consider that Schalke squandered a chance as radiant Champions League hopefuls a year ago to undertake the coveted coach Talent Thomas Tuchel to establish a new era, it is clear how deeply this club has fallen in the last twelve months .
