Gelsenkirchen (dpa) - Schalke's temporary sports director Peter Knäbel can imagine exercising this role in the long term.
“I like to develop content, structures and strategies,” Knäbel told the specialist magazine “Kicker” (Thursday) and added: “What is important is the overall constellation of all the people involved and what role I am expected to play in this construct.
I'm not at all vain, there is enough to do at Schalke, and the club must always be at the center. "
After separating from Jochen Schneider at the end of February, the previous junior director Knäbel had initially taken over his post at the bottom of the Bundesliga.
Regardless of the discussions about the future sporting leadership of the Royal Blues - Ralf Rangnick is in discussion - Knäbel wants to push the planning forward.
“We can't take it into account now.
We have to dare to make decisions that are right for Schalke 04 in the medium and long term, regardless of the person involved. "
The former Bundesliga professional also includes U19 coach Norbert Elgert and ex-professional Mathias Schober as members of the squad planning task force.
But one thing is also clear to Knäbel: "Most of the planning now focuses on the 2nd division, you have to be so honest."
On Wednesday, the club signed Danny Latza from FSV Mainz 05 as the first new signing for the coming season.
