„Schalke“ has fired head coach David Wagner after the club conceded 11 goals in the first two „Bundesliga“ matches. In the first round, „Schalke“ suffered a devastating defeat, losing 0:8 to „Bayern“ players. D. Wagner's team then experienced a second consecutive loss on Saturday, falling 3:1 to „Werder“ team.

„We all believed we could work with D. Wagner. Unfortunately, we didn't see the right results in the first two matches. For that reason, we decided to start fresh,“ said the „Schalke“ director.

„Schalke“ has not celebrated a victory in the last 18 league matches. The club statement announces that along with D. Wagner, two of his assistants are also leaving the club. The 48-year-old coach joined the club in 2019, having previously coached the „Huddersfield“ team. "
