Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke" announced that they have decided to part ways with coach Jens Keller.
The leaders of the German team were not satisfied with this season's results - eliminated from the cup tournament, failed to beat Maribor at home in the Champions League, lost to "Hoffenheim."
The 43-year-old specialist coached "Schalke" from the middle of the 2012/2013 season, when he replaced Huub Stevens.
The Gelsenkirchen team immediately announced that Roberto Di Matteo will take over the coach's position.
The football expert from Italy became most famous in 2012 when he led London's "Chelsea" to the top of the UEFA Champions League tournament.
It was precisely the "Blues" club that was the last team coached by Di Matteo - until now, the coach has been unsuccessfully looking for a new job.
