Schalke have confirmed David Wagner will take over as their new head coach from the 2019-20 season, with the former Huddersfield Town boss having signed a three-year contract.
Wagner’s hugely successful tenure at Huddersfield which saw him gain promotion to the Premier League in 2017 and secure survival the following year. His tenure at Huddersfield came to an end in January, the 47-year-old departing by mutual consent with the Terriers bottom of the table and doomed to relegation.
He will now return to management with Schalke, who sacked Domenico Tedesco as their head coach in March and are currently under the interim management of Huub Stevens.
The Gelsenkirchen club secured their Bundesliga status for another campaign last weekend, having endured a miserable season on the back of a second-place finish in 2017-18.
They will hope for an improvement in fortunes under Wagner, a former Schalke player who won the UEFA Cup with the club in 1997.
