Here's the lowdown on why Schalke's new sporting director Frank Baumann decided to appoint Miron Muslic instead of club legend Raúl as head coach, according to a recent interview with "Sport Bild."
Baumann emphasized the importance of the style of football the club wanted to play, then selected the finest coach for the job. In Baumann's opinion, other candidates simply fit the team better than Raúl, an undeniably excellent coach.
Popularity, it seemed, took a back seat to sporting potential. "When it came to hiring the coach who would bring the most success, Miron stood out," Baumann highlighted.
While Lukas Kwasniok, currently under contract with Bundesliga newcomers 1. FC Köln, was another contender, Baumann referred to him as "one of the candidates" who, despite being a talented coach, didn't persuade the team as effectively as Muslic.
As for Schalke's upcoming season, a brand-new coaching staff will lead the team. Miron Muslic will be flanked by co-coaches Eddie Lattimore and Adin Osmanbasic, who have previously collaborated with him in Plymouth and Bruges. Volkan Ünlü steps in as the new goalkeeping coach, replacing Stephan Loboué.
