Following an analysis by Schalke 04 board member for sport Frank Baumann, the club has decided to implement structural changes to its scouting and academy.

As part of these changes, Schalke have parted ways with Ben Manga, who was serving as director of squad planning, scouting and the club’s youth academy.

“Ben joined Schalke in a difficult period and was able to make an impact in his role. We thank him for his work and wish him all the best for the future," said Baumann.

“We’re well prepared and have already defined the requirements. The next step is to hold talks and find the best candidates for the respective roles. We’ll approach the process with the same diligence and care as we did when hiring our head coach."
