Peter Balette completes S04 backroom staff
FC Schalke 04’s backroom staff has been completed just in time for the final phase of pre-season: Peter Balette is set to join Karel Geraerts’ team straight away and will take part in his first training session on Tuesday (16/7). The Belgian is the third new face on the backroom staff after Sidney Sam and Stephan Loboué (goalkeeping coach).
“With Peter, we’ve been able to recruit someone who brings a lot of experience from his time working at some of Belgium’s top clubs, and someone from whom we all – players and coaches – can learn,” commented head coach Karel Geraerts. “We showed Peter the trajectory we’re on and he concluded that he wishes to join us on this journey. I’m also thrilled that he’s able to join us immediately.”
