Youri Mulder to Remain Schalke 04's Sporting Director Through Season's End

The former striker extends his interim role as Schalke seeks a permanent sporting director amid struggles in the 2nd Bundesliga.

Youri Mulder, initially appointed as interim sporting director in November, will continue in the role until the end of the current season.
Schalke 04's supervisory board has decided to reinstate a sporting board structure and is actively searching for a new permanent sporting director.
Mulder, a former Schalke player with 177 Bundesliga appearances, has temporarily stepped away from his position on the club's supervisory board to focus on this role.
The decision to extend Mulder's tenure provides Schalke more time to find a lasting solution while benefiting from his leadership and public presence.
Schalke currently sits 14th in the 2nd Bundesliga during a challenging season, with Mulder emphasizing stability and teamwork as priorities to achieve their goals.
