Reis and Knäbel speak on Schröder and Schwolow at introductory presser

By Admin / October 27, 2022

At the official introductory presser on Thursday morning, new FC Schalke 04 trainer Thomas Reis and acting sporting director Peter Knäbel spoke on the task ahead. 

Topics reporters specifically pressed them upon included the status of departed sporting director Rouven Schröder’s contract, whether Reis was the first choice of the club, and current team goalkeeping situation.

“Yesterday was not a chaotic day at Schalke. ” Knäbel said of Schröder’s departure, “I strongly deny this notion. It’s fundamentally wrong that people always think that there’s a dispute when there’s a split. He left on his own free will. As his closest confidant, I saw this development coming.”

“Courage belongs to my core values,” Reis said of why he took what is obviously a very tough job, “I’m capable of assessing the risk  It also makes the job interesting. [For the players], It’s important to learn again to be proud to wear these colors. That’s a kind of motivation that should be addressed.”

“Whether I’m solution B, C or D solution doesn’t interest me,” Reis said when asked to comment on reports that other coaches such as Bruno Labbadia and Vladimir Petkovic turned the club down, “It’s completely normal that Schalke were also looking at other options.”

Reis announced that competition for starting places would be set back to swore one ahead of his first training session. When pressed if this applied to the goalkeeping position after Alexander Schwolow’s error-prone start and absolute howler last weekend, Reis indicated that it did.

#Reis: Schwerpunkt ist heute, dass ich die Mannschaft kennenlerne. Dass wir Bock haben, gemeinsam voranzugehen. Dass ich sofort versuche, die Mannschaft mitzunehmen. Ich möchte unvoreingenommen an die Sache herangehen, sodass sich jeder Spieler präsentieren kann. #S04 | #S04PK pic.twitter.com/SPlwyaVGNw
