Sports director Rouven Schröder is leaving Schalke 04 with immediate effect

In the middle of the ongoing search for a coach, FC Schalke suddenly needs a new sports director. Rouven Schröder is leaving the promoted team with immediate effect. This was surprisingly announced by the club on Wednesday afternoon. "Personal reasons" were decisive, as a result of which Schröder's request to leave the club before his contract expired was complied with.

"Rouven has rendered services to the club, the importance of which may not be fully appreciated and appreciated by the public for a few years. I'll say it very clearly: Without the work of Rouven Schröder, FC Schalke 04 would no longer exist in its usual form. For that, he deserves the thanks of all Schalke,” Peter Knäbel, member of the board, is quoted as saying in a press release.

"We would have liked to have continued on the path we had taken with Rouven, but we still complied with his personal wish," says Dr. Bernd Schröder, Chairman of the Executive Board and adds: "We are infinitely grateful to Rouven Schröder for the work he has done."

Schröder himself also has his say. "The decision to leave Schalke 04 was anything but easy for me. Together we experienced 18 highly intense months,” he said. The 47-year-old joined the traditional club as sports director in June 2021 and is considered the architect of the team that won the Bundesliga 2 championship last season. After their return to the Bundesliga, Schalke are currently in last place with six points.
