Gelsenkirchen - The big supremo is here - and Felix Magath admits to belonging to Schalke.
The former coach Mike Büskens Trio, Youri Mulder and Oliver Reck under Magath has no future - the last "Eurofighter" were radically shaved yesterday.
Assistant coach Mulder was exempt, non-renewal of the expiring contract with goalkeeper coach Oliver Reck. Büskens had offered the club to once again coach the second team. This had the 41-year-old but was rejected. Arminia Bielefeld in him is said to have interest.
"Take such action and to pronounce then, is never easy, especially as it shall certify all previous employees have a good job," said Magath.
The trio had looked after the Schalke at the end of the 2007/08 season and also at the end of the 2008/09 season. The outcome was quite positive: nine wins, two draws and four defeats were to book.
Next Magath said: "I can beg your understanding of my desire, with my long-term employees here to be operating at Schalke." Magath takes from Wolfsburg, with almost his entire coaching staff for Schalke.
In addition to his assistant Seppo Eichkorn and Bernd Hollerbach also switch fitness coach Werner Leuthard and chief press officer Rolf Dietrich to Gelsenkirchen. Only the position of goalkeeper coach is still vacant.
Magath: "I am convinced that this is the human constellation, which we need to continue to succeed," said the 55-year-old.
