There won’t be a second Tönnies era at Schalke. Clemens Tönnies’ son Maximilian is not interested in an office, as he confirmed in an interview.
The term of office ended on June 30, 2020 Clemens Tönnies as chairman of the supervisory board of FC Schalke 04. He was a member of the highest governing body for 26 years, 19 years of which was its chairman. At the time, the meat manufacturer had received a lot of criticism due to his statements at the regional day of the craft in Paderborn and later because of a corona outbreak in his main plant and then resigned from his offices.
There will be no second Tönnie era, however. His son Maximilian Tönnies has been running the business of the sausage division in the company empire of the entrepreneur from Rheda-Wiedenbrück for several years. However, the 31-year-old is not aiming for any offices in the second division soccer team. He said that in an interview with the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung”: “We are sponsors and I am happy when our perimeter advertising is shown. My children have Schalke bibs. But I have no ambitions for any post, ”said Tönnies junior.
Clemens Tönnies had also already emphasized that he would not return to the royal blues. “Not in the structure we have today. I am 65 years old today, I have my best time behind me, “said Tönnies on the Sky program” My Story “in August:” Somebody has to go there who is young and agile. I would always be at your side with words and deeds! “
In addition, he had offered financial support last winter to prevent the relegation from the Bundesliga, which was still looming at the time, with new players. But the board of directors refused his help.
