Kees van Wonderen: Looking for the Schalke success!

Gelsenkirchen, Deutschland - Gelsenkirchen. The dramatic relationship between the new Schalke coach Kees van Wonderen and the former bond coach Ronald Koeman is disclosed! While van Wonderen served as an assistant coach of the Dutch national team, the two often stood on different sides. "I noticed as an assistant coach: you are no longer at the wheel!" Unveils Van Wonderen in conversation with “Sport Bild”. At some point he realized that his ideas did not match the decisions of Koeman: "I wanted to left, but he wanted to go to the right!"

Between March 2018 and December 2019 he was alongside Koeman, but the constant differences led to Van Wonderen finally threw the towel. "It didn't feel right for me anymore," explains the 55-year-old. Despite the valuable experiences and the great opportunity to work as an assistant coach, he could no longer put up with the status quo. After this intensive time, it was time for him to go as head coach and took over the shops at the Go Ahead Eagles and SC Heerenveen.

The association is now fighting for the connection, only the 14th place in the table is currently adorned with the balance of the former Bundesliga club. The problems are tangible and the fans wonder if van Wonderen can be the right man for the turn!
