A Bundesliga team has never played four games in a row 0-0. The credo of coach Huub Stevens of the century – “zero must stand” – has been taken very seriously by the Schalke 04 team over the past few weeks. In terms of points, S04 is not really making progress, but thanks to a certain basic stability it creates new hope in the relegation battle.
The level of satisfaction with coach Thomas Reis is correspondingly high. Even if it is not enough to stay up in the league, the Royal Blues want to continue to rely on the 49-year-old. Sports director Peter Knäbel gives his trainer a job guarantee to ‘Sport Bild’: “Thomas will also be our head coach in the coming season – no back door.”
“Together”the Schalke boss pushes behind, “We want to stay up in the Bundesliga.” The clear signal: the Knappen are fully on the Reis card, want to prevent possible coaching discussions in the further course of the season. And the players now know that they don’t need to speculate on a new coach. Reis is contractually bound until 2024.
