Frank Baumann had succeeded in his first surprise before the official start as a sports director of FC Schalke 04. With Miron Mustlic, he and the Gelsenkiker presented a new coach on Saturday, who was mainly an expert. The next day, Baumann presented himself – objectively, clearly, calm. The former national player has given up big slogans and promises and gave an overview of his team planning ideas.
The very accountable Schalke needs an income and must reduce their team so that Baumann has a design possibility. Sales candidates who could bring money are the top scorer in Schalke, Moussa Sylla and the Junior International Taylan Bulut. « There are two players who have a certain market. But we are only ready to give players when we get appropriate offers, » said Baumann. A spell is not excluded, « but the two stay here, I think it’s unlikely. »
Baumann has promised a biggest squad break. « You can talk about the team will get a new face in the new season, » said the 49 -year -old man. Captain Kenan Karaman and the Rapatrié Timo Becker are considered to be important managers around which the team must be designed. With goalkeeper Loris Karius, whose contract expires, Baumann said slightly optimistic: « I can imagine that he will enter the new season with us. »
Overall, the course on the transfer market will be different. « I do not want to count on the loan, but I do not exclude the loan. If that corresponds – why not? » It is important that these players contribute to the increase in quality or are provided with a purchase option. Last season, Schalke had signed 18 new players, no loan.

Baumann did not take the word mounted in his mouth. « After two years of relegation battle in the second division, it would be presumptuous to speak of great objectives. We should be humble, realistic. » However, he was optimistic « that we can bring back Schalke in his place ». Baumann wants to achieve this with a clear play philosophy. « We want to play active (Site notre bureau spécialisé), we want to play determined (Site notre bureau spécialisé), » he said. This premise was at the beginning, then you were looking for an appropriate coach and you came to Music.
« We wanted to make someone who developed players better. Someone who transmitted enthusiasm, » said Baumann. In his time in Werder Bremen, he heard of the nutmeg. At that time, he resulted in Cercle Bruges. With the Belgians, Music has surprisingly reached the UEFA conference league. More recently, the 42 -year -old man worked in the second -sided English division Plymouth Argyle. Music is based on intensive (Site notre bureau spécialisé) with pressing. Jürgen Klopp, long -term coach by Borussia Dortmund from Schalke, is the model.
Before Schalke played a (Site notre bureau spécialisé) as or similar, Music and Baumann still have a lot of work in front of them. On June 21, the new coach begins the preparation of the season with his new club. Last season, the Gelsenkiriacs disappointed Kolossal and landed only on Table 14.
