The list of coaches FC Schalke has had on leave since 1992 is long. Here is an overview.
Thomas Reis has now also become a victim of Schalke’s ejector seat. After eleven months he was relieved of his duties at the Königsblauen.
But who could be his successor? Looking at available coaches who last coached in the 1st or 2nd Bundesliga, one is struck. 25 people are available, with Stefan Kuntz there would be 26.
But eight of them immediately fall off the grid because they have already coached S04 in the recent past. Since coaches of the calibre of Oliver Glasner are probably not an option for Schalke either, it quickly becomes clear what coaches are currently available.
Here is an overview of the available coaches and the coaches Schalke have had under contract since 1992. A handsome list.
