Overview
- Langer retired from his playing career in summer 2025 after eight seasons at Schalke, where he joined in August 2017 as the number three goalkeeper and became a fan favorite.
- Building on a sports management degree completed in November 2024, he has embarked on a season-long traineeship within Schalke’s sport management department.
- His prior career included spells in Norway, Sweden and the United States, earning the “globetrotter” label before settling at Schalke.
- The traineeship is part of Schalke’s strategy to cultivate former players for long-term roles within its sporting infrastructure by providing hands-on experience across scouting, data analysis and cross-team operations.
- Schalke has not yet determined whether Langer will remain with the club beyond the current season in a permanent front-office capacity.
