Alex Kral becomes the new vice-captain at Schalke 04. Danny Latza remains the first captain.
Thomas Reis continues to turn FC Schalke 04 upside down. Loan player Alex Kral should have even more responsibility in the future: the Czech is now vice-captain of the Royal Blues.
The promotion euphoria for Schalke quickly subsided with the start of the current Bundesliga season. The Royal Blues got into a downward spiral, at the end of which head coach Frank Kramer had to resign. Thomas Reis should now pull the cart out of the dirt.
Kral becomes the new vice-captain at Schalke
Reis has now also rearranged the hierarchy for this purpose. As the picture reported, Alex Kral becomes the new vice-captain at S04. Supplementary player Danny Latza remains first captain; Simon Terodde and Maya Yoshida deputy. The team council is expanded by one person with Kral.
Since Latza is only used sporadically at Schalke, we are likely to see Kral often wearing the captain’s armband in the second half of the season. The Czech should play a key role under Reis and lead the team to stay up in the league.
After that, it’s over for the 24-year-old. Kral is only on loan from Schalke and will return to Spartak Moscow at the end of the season. Schalke will probably not have the financial means to keep the Czechs beyond that.
