Rangnick set free by Schalke
Monday, 12 December 2005
FC Schalke 04 have sacked Ralf Rangnick three days after the coach announced
that he would be leaving the German club at the end of the season.
European disappointment
The 47-year-old, who had been unhappy that disagreements with general
manager Rudi Assauer had been leaked to the media, failed to lead Schalke
into the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, although they will play in
the UEFA Cup after finishing third in Group E.
Ten points adrift
Rangnick replaced Jupp Heynckes in September 2004 and guided the Ruhr club
to second spot in the Bundesliga and a place in the German Cup final.
Schalke are currently fourth in the table, ten points behind leaders FC
Bayern Munchen following Saturday's 1-0 home win against 1. FSV Mainz 05. |
