Official | Schalke appoint Kees van Wonderen as new head coach | OneFootball

“The discussions with those in charge were very good and characterized by a great deal of trust. We analyzed all of the games of the season and developed an idea of ​​what we want to work on with the team. That is challenging in the middle of an ongoing season, but we are tackling it with conviction and confidence. I will use Sunday to get to know the staff and have discussions, including with Jakob Fimpel, to gain valuable first-hand impressions before we start with the team on Monday. We want to take steps together during the international break.”

“The basis of our search was a requirements profile that we approved together with the board. In summary: a coach whose work on the pitch bears a visible signature, who knows how he wants to work with our squad and has experience in developing players. We are absolutely convinced that we have found the right person for the job in Kees van Wonderen. I have known him and his work for several years, very intensively since his time in Deventer, and am now looking forward to working with him.”
