Wagner – There will be no resignation
FC Schalke can look back on the worst second half of the club’s history. That’s why coach David Wagner doesn’t want to throw the shotgun yet and is combative.
Schalke has had a catastrophic season – athletic, financial and in terms of external image. Now the club is taking a new path and is setting an upper salary limit. That is significantly below the current top salaries.
Dhis appearance in Freiburg was an oath of revelation. FC Schalke surrendered to its fate and suffered the defeat. The Royal Blues left the summer break with a 0: 4, it was the 16th winless game in a row.
The balance of the second half of the season is cruel: nine goals, ten defeats and six draws. Only due to the strong first half of the season there were no relegation concerns. Hardly any other team has longed for the end of the season like Schalke.
The team recently delivered indiscutable services that fit into the current image of the club. Schalke has not only been facing major financial worries since the Corona crisis. But the consequences of the corona pandemic exacerbated it. “It’s about the existence of the club,” communications chief Alexander Jobst warned.
According to information from the “SZ”, the club is reacting with a drastic measure to get a better grip on the financial imbalance. Schalke is the first Bundesliga club to introduce an upper salary limit. In the future, no new contract will exceed the limit of an annual salary of 2.5 million euros. The top earners in the squad are currently expected to earn around four million euros.
Wagner precludes resignation
Recently, several officials, including the head of the German Football League Christian Seifert and DFB President Fritz Keller, had demanded an upper salary limit in football, but classified it as difficult to implement.

Whatever Schalke’s team will look like next season, it looks like David Wagner will remain their coach. “There will be no resignation. I am Schalke – Schalke fight, Schalke know that there are hard times, “said Wagner. For him, resigning is beyond imagination: “I believe the team’s trust is undisputed. There is no question that it is a mortgage. A very, very big one, that’s not a question at all. “
