FC Schalke 04: Hopes dashed - and now it's getting worse
Schalke's relegation is now certain
FC Schalke 04 will play in the 2nd Bundesliga next season. That was decided on Matchday 32 with the 0-1 defeat at Arminia Bielefeld. The Royal Blues thus missed the jump to the relegation place.
Schalke's relegation is a bitter disappointment for the club, the fans and the entire region. The club had only returned to the Bundesliga in 2021 after a year in the 2nd Bundesliga, but was never able to gain a foothold in the league.
Now Schalke has to start over in the 2nd Bundesliga. The goal is clear: immediate promotion. But that will be difficult, because the competition in the 2nd Bundesliga is strong.
What went wrong at Schalke?
There are many reasons for Schalke's relegation. One reason is the weak squad. The Royal Blues have not been able to sign any top players in recent years, instead relying on free transfers and loans.
Another reason is the lack of a clear playing philosophy. Schalke have had several coaches in recent years, each with their own ideas. This has led to a lack of continuity and stability.
What's next for Schalke?
Schalke must now start planning for the future. The club needs to sign new players and find a new coach. The goal is clear: immediate promotion.
But that will be difficult, because the competition in the 2nd Bundesliga is strong. Schalke will have to play at their best to achieve their goal.
