FC Schalke 04 Hub
FC Schalke 04 is back in the top league. The team achieved promotion and is currently leading the 2. Bundesliga with 70 points and an 8-point lead over SV Elversberg.
What happened in December 2024?
The executives around CEO Matthias Tillmann and sports director Youri Mulder decided that the team needed a concept. A philosophy. On and off the pitch.
The coach hiring
They developed a proprietary software that evaluates both players and coaches according to the new, intense playing style. The answer on the screen: Roger Schmidt, who was too expensive. And it spat out a name that some bosses had to look up: Miron Muslic.
The signing of Soufiane El-Faouzi
June 2025: Baumann asks financial director Christina Rühl-Hamers for a budget for structural changes. Connected with a clear signal to the team: The dormitory in the professional performance center will be reduced, the fitness area will be expanded. From now on, life at Schalke is not a siesta.
