Karel Geraerts is currently in a full relegation battle with Schalke 04. The club is not yet thinking about next season, and this may also depend on what will happen in the coming weeks.
Schalke 04 is currently twelfth in the German second division, but the gap with the play-downs is barely four points. The first direct loser only has six points, so it remains to be seen whether the club from Gelsenkirchen can save itself.
In the meantime, the coach is being courted. Bart Verhaeghe still wants to bring Karel Geraerts back to Belgium. He currently remains the absolute favorite within blue-black to become the new coach.

However, Schalke 04 also has the necessary ambitions in Germany. If the club can survive this year, it wants to grow faster. In the long term, promotion to the Bundesliga must be achieved. Preferably with Geraerts.
Salvation is the main goal
In the event of an extended stay in second class, the board will insist on an extended stay. As technical director, Marc Wilmots is already a fan of his compatriot. And that could be a downer for Club Brugge.
Geraerts himself? He has that BILD responded to the interest. “First complete our mission,” it said – referring to Operation Rescue. “Afterwards we will sit at the table.” Geraerts still has a contract until June 2025, but does not seem to rule out a departure yet.
