- Since taking over as Schalke’s No. 1, the team has conceded seven goals in 12 matches with six clean sheets, giving the club a league-best defensive record and fueling a promotion push.
- He compares Muslic’s man-management to Jürgen Klopp’s, describing a clear, direct, demanding style that resets quickly after criticism.
- His Schalke contract is reported to run through 2027, and he says he feels comfortable at the club as he targets a Bundesliga return in due time.
