Magath off to Schalke
Table of Contents
Felix Magath has agreed to switch from VfL Wolfsburg to Bundesliga rivals Schalke at the end of the season.
The former Bayern Munich boss has agreed a four-year contract with Schalke after having mutually agreed to terminate his contract with Die Wölfe.
Magath admits the timing of the announcement could have been better, but insists the decision will prove to be the correct one.
"After discussions with Wolfsburg's supervisory board, we had already decided a week ago I would leave," explained Magath. "But I regret the timing.
"The timing may not be the best. Obviously it would have been better if the facts, which have been known for weeks, could have been made public after the end of the season.
"The timing of this announcement has been forced upon me from outside. I did not want to leave the fans in the dark, I just wanted to protect the team by keeping my silence.
"Only one component of our success is disappearing, and that is me. VfL is so well established that they do not need to have any worries about the future."
