Even last season, he was regarded as a promise for the future. However, the high appreciation of Domenico Tedesco, nothing more is at FC Schalke 04 remained. One and a half years after he took office, the first League is finished-the adventures of 33-year-old football teacher. Five-game unbeaten-defeats with 0:7-shame in the Champions League at Manchester City as a negative peak cost the actually contracted to 2022-bound former Schalke hopes the Job.

Finally, there was a lack of the Coach who had completed the football teacher training course once as a valedictorian with an overall grade of 1.0 to Bundesliga experience. However, similar to his first coach station in the second-division team Erzgebirge Aue, he took over in March 2017 as a table, the last before the descent of the saved, convinced Tedesco to Schalke.
