Schalke 04 name Andre Breitenreiter as new head coach

Bundesliga outfit Schalke 04 name former SC Paderborn coach Andre Breitenreiter as the club's new manager.

Schalke 04 have named former SC Paderborn boss Andre Breitenreiter as the club's new coach.

Breitenreiter is to take over from previous manager Roberto Di Matteo, who spent just seven months at the club, with 04's new incoming boss signing on a two-year deal.

"We are very happy to have found the right head coach for FC Schalke 04 in the form of André Breitenreiter," said Schalke general manager Horst Heldt in a statement.

"After Roberto Di Matteo's departure, I emphasised what I expect from a new coach - attractive and passionate attacking football and a team spirit that excites our own fans."

The 41-year-old Breitenreiter managed to get Paderborn promoted to the Bundesliga during his first season in charge at the club, but was unable to keep them in the German top flight last season.
