"Schalke" fired Magath and is talking to Rehhagel © EuroFootball.com

The Gelzenkirchen club has fired the head coach Felix Magath. Although the German team reached the country's cup final and the Champions League quarterfinals, the tenth place in the national championship did not satisfy the managers, so action was taken.

The former Greek national team coach Otto Rehhagel is considered the most likely candidate to take over the reins of "Schalke".
