The ntv duel to the coach quake
Only sparkle saves Schalke! No, neururer!

28 games without a win – FC Schalke 04 experienced a dramatic crash this year. The sporty horror is now eating the second trainer with Manuel Baum. Huub Stevens takes over at short notice. And then? Can there really only be one. Or another?

28 games without a win – FC Schalke 04 experienced a dramatic crash this year. After David Wagner, the sporty horror is now eating the second trainer with Manuel Baum. For the two upcoming games this year, club legend Huub Stevens will take over. And then? Friedhelm Funkel may come. According to media reports, he has already been recommended by Stevens. Our author Sebastian Fuhrmann has a good idea. Tobias Nordmann, on the other hand, finally pleads for Peter Neururer to return! What do you mean? Form your opinion and vote!

What Schalke needs: The calm of Friedhelm Funkel

By Sebastian Fuhrmann

FC Himmelfahrtskommando 04: If anyone has what it takes to somehow save the mega-crisis Bundesliga club from falling into the wide-open second division throat, it is Friedhelm Funkel. Why? Because the 67-year-old brings gifts that are now needed at Schalke. Funkel is a skilled public relations worker, is an empathetic contemporary who is highly credible
enjoys and his down-to-earth nature simply fits perfectly to Gelsenkirchen.

The calm in the storm.

It's a law of nature: Working in peace at Schalke is almost impossible. There is constant excitement about the club. A situation that somehow comes close to the literal sense of calm only prevails when the people trust the state. The train, however, has long since left FC Schalke after a long chain of difficult-to-understand decisions.

What is needed now is someone who embodies credibility like sparkle. One who can caress tormented souls. And there are a lot of them at Schalke. With the fans, but especially in the completely insecure team, in which some are supposed to get the coals out of the fire that the club had already chased from the court in the past.

At his last station in Düsseldorf, Funkel also showed what he can do with little money. He can be trusted to elicit the undoubted potential of the Schalke team with a clear concept. This now requires a football teacher with a strong pedagogical streak. With his gifts, Funkel can set the clocks on Schalke back to zero.

Only one person can save the club: Peter Neururer!

Whenever a coach is fired in the world, a photo of Peter Neururer appears on Twitter. He gets out of his Porsche, ready to save what needs to be saved. One day it should be FC Bayern, recently the DFB. The time of silly jokes is finally over. Peter Neururer is needed. More urgent than ever. And at FC Schalke 04. He, ONLY he, can save this dramatically tumbling club from collapse.

Schalke has become a synonym for horror and total hopelessness in the Bundesliga. Schalke has been stumbling badly towards the abyss in Tasmania for months. In the desperate search for the emergency stop of the drama, one wrong decision follows the next. First the long adherence to David Wagner, then the commitment of Manuel Baum. The coach now leaves without having won a game. He goes as the most unsuccessful coach in club history.

Baum is an absolute expert on tactics. But that's exactly what Gelsenkirchen doesn't need. The club, which can get intoxicated by its own emotions and its own history, needs someone for feeling, for passion. Someone who drives this lifeless team and repeatedly harasses them with their own emotionality.

Peter Neururer has actually ended his coaching career. For FC Schalke 04, he said, he would make another exception. Neururer, lives and suffers the club. It doesn't take more. But by the way: Of course he also knows tactics! Greetings to Real Madrid!
