Former players Youri Mulder and Mike Buskens have been placed in charge at Schalke until the end of the season.

The duo took the reins towards the end of last season and helped the Gelsenkirchen club secure a Champions League spot following the exit of Mirko Slomka.

Now they have been placed in charge following the sacking of Fred Rutten, although neither Mulder nor Buskens seem too keen on their new responsibilities.

Mulder told Suddeutsche Zeitung: "The club didn't really want us to continue and nor did we.

"We were just told to lead training, but we didn't really have any desire to do so.

"We are not crazy. Mike and I thought that it would have been better for the structure of the club if Fred had continued."

Buskens added: "This is the most difficult situation in recent years. I have never experienced such a turbulent time."
