Berlin (dpa) - The new Schalke coach Christian Gross does not want to rule with a hard hand in his rescue mission.
«I'm tough on it, but I know what it takes to fight relegation here.
I have to speak up, support them and, of course, first and foremost praise them, ”said the coach of the Bundesliga soccer team before the game at Hertha BSC on Saturday on Sky TV.
The 66-year-old is already the fourth person in charge of the bottom of the table this season.
“I'm basically not interested in the gray area in midfield.
Schalke is a huge challenge, that's why I accepted it, ”said Gross.
He actually ended his coaching career in May of the previous year.
“Basically, I still have the energy, feel fit and want to make a difference,” assured the Swiss.
Gross did not ask for further newcomers after the signing of Sead Kolasinac.
“I believe in the quality of the players, a new player is sure to join, the others have to prove themselves.
I appeal to the ambition of each individual, ”said the coach.
