The 40-year-old, now stands tall at the helm, with a twinkle of excitement in his eye, as he joins the German Bundesliga moderator team.
In a joyful press release, Schlüter shared, "Growing up, I watched ARD's Sportschau with awe-struck eyes, never imagining that one day I'd be part of its legendary history. I'm beyond ecstatic to deliver my energy and expertise to such an esteemed program." ARD's sports coordinator, Axel Balkausky, couldn't be more thrilled, accentuating Schlüter's charming personality and extensive sports knowledge.
