Jochen Schneider didn't seem very talkative before kick-off.
The narrow-lipped sports director of Schalke may have been linked to a report by "Kickers" that his club was looking for a successor for him.
“You have to ask the supervisory board.
That doesn't affect me.
I do my job.
I don't waste time and energy on things that I cannot influence, ”said Schneider, ironing out the subject at“ Sky ”.
The 50-year-old also reacted evasively to questions about a possible return of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to the Bundesliga.
Something will be announced if there is something to be announced.
The appearance of FC Schalke in the 1: 3 (1: 1) against Eintracht Frankfurt showed once again that the team urgently needs a seasoned goalscorer.
Jovic hits twice

Against offensive Frankfurt, who played many balls straight to the top, Schalke trembled for the first time after a post header from Martin Hinteregger, before André Silva scored the 1-0 shortly after (28th minute).
But instead of breaking in - as is so often the case this season - Schalke immediately responded with the equalizer in the person of Matthew Hoppe (29th).
As a result, Schalke was able to thank Ralf Fährmann;
shortly before the break, the goalkeeper parried strongly against Erik Durm (43.).
In the second half, the guests lacked efficiency in front of the goal.
Christian Gross' team failed when there were few opportunities.
“He's an issue with us.
Huntelaar has immense experience and a royal blue heart, ”said Schalke's coach for the goalscorer.
On the other hand, Eintracht could already enjoy their return: Luka Jovic scored the renewed lead ten minutes after his substitution (72nd) and even scored 3-1 shortly before the end.
Schalke is still waiting for the second win of the season - and Huntelaar is the bearer of hope.
