Schalke 04’s Path to Bundesliga Security

Prospects of a Bundesliga Return

A return to the Bundesliga promises to bring stability on multiple levels for Schalke 04.

Coach’s Contract Extension

According to Sport BILD, the contract of head coach Miron Muslic, which includes an option for exit, will automatically extend through 2028.

Salary Increase with Promotion

Should the team gain promotion, the 43-year-old coach is set to receive a significant increase in his salary.

Contract for Antwi-Adjei

Christopher Antwi-Adjei, whose contract is currently set to expire, will also see an extension of one year if Schalke makes a return to the top tier next season.

Appearance Clause

However, as indicated in the Sport BILD article, the versatile forward must participate in at least 20 league matches this season for this extension to take effect.

Sponsorship Deal

Moreover, the existing partnership with lead sponsor Minimeal, which is currently valid until the end of the season, features an option for extension.

Company Decision on Renewal

The parent company, Sun AG, holds the right to activate this clause, allowing them to determine if the partnership will continue for either one or two additional years.

Financial Benefits of Bundesliga Status

Once back in the Bundesliga, the Royal Blues would benefit from a financial deal where they would receive six million euros instead of the three million euros from the Swiss sponsor.
