Overview

  • Peter Neururer, who coached twelve German professional football clubs over a 35-year career, remains a prominent figure in football as a pundit and expert.
  • He maintains a deep emotional connection to FC Schalke 04, where his controversial dismissal in the 1980s remains a legendary story in German football.
  • Neururer is open to returning to professional football as a sports director, aiming to achieve his unfulfilled dream of holding the Bundesliga trophy ('die Schale').
  • While ruling out a return to coaching, he would consider stepping in for Schalke, FC Köln, or VfL Bochum if they were in severe crisis.
