Youri Mulder Appointed Interim Sport Director at Schalke 04

The former striker returns to Schalke to lead the club through a challenging period while a permanent replacement is sought.

Youri Mulder, a former Schalke 04 player and current supervisory board member, has been appointed as the interim sport director.
Mulder will temporarily replace Marc Wilmots, who left the position around six weeks ago, as Schalke searches for a permanent successor.
He will work closely with squad planner Ben Manga and has expressed strong support for under-pressure coach Kees van Wonderen.
Mulder's appointment comes as Schalke, currently struggling in the 2. Bundesliga, seeks to stabilize its performance and improve results.
Officially starting in the upcoming international break, Mulder aims to bring his extensive football expertise and positive energy to the team.
