Schalke on Wednesday announced the dismissal of Felix Magath. Today was officially presented his replacement as coach of the "Knappen", the familiar will be Ralf Ragnick. The club is ranked in the gray area of \u200b\u200bclassification and the return of Ragnick Schalke Geilsenkirchen expected from those more successful than in the era Magath. BG: If you already talked about the chaos that was ravaging the HSV, Schalke case is unique. Much has been written about the alleged reasons for the dismissal of Magath:
1) no internal regulations are respected on signings,
2) the players had complained about the personal
3) if he was ruining the company.
Smoke. All these reasons given by the senior management of Schalke are just that, smoke. The main reason has been a bitter internal power struggle in the bowels of the club, including President Tönnies Magath and where the end it was the technician who has gone through the back door. But this relationship Tönnies-Magath already seemed doomed from the start.
But let us by, do a little history and remember that Clemens Tönnies enters the club in 2004 with the promise of champions Schalke (something that does not happen since season 57/58). After numerous failures and lurches sports, including dismissal as manager Rudi Assauer and numerous coaches (including technicians who had reaped successful seasons as the messiah now Rangnick or Mirko Slomka) achieved last season effect a coup and gain the services of "Midas" Magath. Coach comes from being a champion with the Wolfsburg and the premise of making the league champion Schalke also signed him for four years and give carte blanche and doing almost absolute power-manager and technical manager.
But as we said the contract is tricky. Upon arrival at Schalke Magath uncovers the cake and announced that the club is almost bankrupt. No money for major signings (Magath had requested and Misimovic VfL Dzeko) and you have to tighten their belts. A few months later the picture clears up a bit and announced an agreement with a sponsor that would alleviate much of the coffers of the S04. This first season finishes Schalke second, well above the level of staffing and expectations. The fans really believe that the title is possible.
But are beginning to be heard criticism for his authoritarian behavior Magath at the club.
Last summer the template dynamite Magath, signing 14 new players and giving the floor to another 16. A lot, if not for that Magath is known because of it. And if there are any new players who do not give the performance he expected, and it is sold by another player again. That's Magath. The coach is synonymous with success, but no King Midas who turns into gold everything he touches, but authoritarian coach whose methods are well known in the Bundesliga and high demands on their players, regardless of the name. And in its strategy is likely to invest much money. In this case 39 Mio. € in signings by 21 Mio. € in sales, leaving a negative balance of -18 Mio. €. Criticism Magath harden, and the worst come from within. therefore be accused of wasteful? Yes What could have been with a player who already had the template instead of signing? (Refrain example) also. But remember what the mission entrusted to him. Make Schalke champion. And
way it went. Recall that in the first season exceeded all forecasts and classified to S04 for Champions. Where this season led the club to the quarter, which is precisely the best classification of the club's history in the top international competition (so far only reached once.) At the same time this classification flushed much of the economic losses of the year. To make matters worse Schalke slips into the end of the Pokal, after knocking Bayern in Munich, where he will face Duisburg (Second Division). So a title is very close (Only 4 cup titles adorn the windows of the S04, the latest data already over 10 years). Via these European classification is achieved as well, so we can ignore the campaign partly gray Schalke in the Bundesliga has been doing. Because make no mistake, what is the end both in the memory of fans and in the windows of the club are the titles, no positions in the table clasifiactoria.
But long before the war between Tönnies and Magath had broken. Unspoilable see the team was fighting in three competitions and every day will put the coach in question. O was made from their own lines or orchestrating to some of the fans to do so, or using media related to the policy. Magath was still not within the club and none of them decisions of the board, although it is true that I do not remember a bad word from him in the press.
Conclusion: we all already know. Coach fired and new coach on the bench Schalke Rangnick returning Tönnies desspués that precisely his dismissal. Magath in a fit of pride (this does not lack either the Coach) returns to Wolfsburg, where he will try to avoid the debacle of the VfL.
But I wonder what they really wanted Tönnies and its leadership? First to be champion, but then let go the train because he did not like Magath methods (methods known in advance ).... Really ridiculous. In my opinion
Schalke has missed an opportunity to do something important in the Bundesliga and in the international field knowing this change Rangnick Tönnies (eye, a very good coach) sounds more to me than another lurch to a belief in the virtues of "Professor."
Meanwhile, BVB can rise to the bowl and that's what I think it probably hurts the fans of S04.
