The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Freiburg-c40462 on Saturday
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Schalke-04-c39204 because of the club’s terrible run of form in the Bundesliga. He paid the price for his team’s recent performances
in the league and the defeat to rivals SC Freiburg was the defining moment of his sack.
The Dutch coach’s dismissal does not come as a surprise as they have gone down in the league table in recent weeks. At the start of the campaign, they were placed second only behind league leaders Bayern Munich. The German club
were only able to get two points from their last six league encounters.
The Miners most recent victory came last month when they beat Werder Bremen on November 10. This terrible run of form has seen the Bundesliga outfit slip to 7th in the league table following the shocking 3-1 loss to
Freiburg at their home ground. However, due to these results it was expected that they will let go of Stevens.
Moreover, Die Knappen were in scintillating form before this run and made the best start to their Bundesliga season in 14 years. Nevertheless, after a string of bad results the club finally opted to fire the experienced team trainer
before the winter break.
Schalke’s Under-17 boss Jens Keller will resume the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 of his predecessor on a temporary basis and a press conference was held on Sunday to announce the decision to the public and fans. Keller has enough experience in coaching
and was the head coach of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 two years ago.
The 42-year-old also played for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881, Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt in his career.
On the other hand, Stevens took charge of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues in September 2011 and helped them to third finish last term, and also aided them in reaching the UEFA Champions League round of 16 this season after winning their group
ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, Olympiakos and Montpellier.
