Cancellation the logical consequence?
Schalke action “horrified” Rangnick
Not much should have been missing until Ralf Rangnick’s second engagement at FC Schalke 04. In the past few days, a lot has been reported about the rejection of the renowned football teacher. But what was really behind it?
At FC Schalke 04, the international break should and must be spent making further decisions with regard to the new sports directorate to be filled. With Ralf Rangnick, the most promising candidate recently dropped out at his own request. But why? As the “Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung” claims to have found out, Rangnick and his team of advisors were “horrified” that so many internal matters of the meeting were made public after the first conversation in the law firm and Schalke supervisory board chief Jens Buchta.
Above all, the leakage of the financial details is said to have caused great resentment on the Rangnick side. “The experienced consultant Marc Kosicke, who also represents Jürgen Klopp, has never before experienced such a procedure,” it continues. The “Kicker” also reported on some imponderables that prevented Rangnick from working again at FC Schalke 04. The specialist magazine wrote von Rangnick’s displeasure about the current squad structure and the many well-paid contracts that would also be valid in the 2nd Bundesliga – without any deductions.

And then the “kicker” delivered another fact that should have been the trigger for Rangnick’s cancellation. Schalke’s chief financial officer Christina Rühl-Hamers is said to have promised Rangnick a budget of at least 20 million euros in the worst case. When he first came into contact with the “Tradition and Future” group, the Swabian native was given the prospect of “significantly more budget”. In Hoffenheim and Leipzig, Rangnick had achieved considerable success with a financial framework well above the average.
In addition, the unresolved situation regarding the future composition of the supervisory board is said to have raised doubts at Rangnick. In addition, it was said that the return campaign by Danny Latza from Mainz at Rangnick had by no means triggered storms of enthusiasm. According to “WAZ”, after the first meeting in Buchta’s office, an appointment was first made for a further exchange. For the reasons mentioned, this never happened.
