BREAKING : Steven Schumacher makes shock revelation about his Stoke City sacking and Narcis Pelach appointment – Issues warning to Stoke City chiefs

After leaving Plymouth Argyle to take over at Stoke in December, Schumacher managed to keep the team in the Championship the previous year thanks to a strong finish to the season.

The board opted to make a change after the Potters lost three of their opening five league games of the season and won two of them. The 40-year-old was given permission to rebuild his team this summer by adding ten new players.

Schumacher claimed that the news of his termination was a “huge shock” in a statement issued soon after his departure, however journalist

Alan Nixon claims that Stoke had been considering replacing

Norwich City first-team coach Narcis Pelach was appointed as Schumacher’s successor, and the Spaniard lost both of his first two games in charge, but he picked up his first win with an emphatic 6-1 victory over Portsmouth at the bet365 Stadium on Wednesday night, which moved his side up to 15th in the table.

 

Schumacher admitted that almost three weeks on from his exit from Stoke, sporting director Jon Walters has still not explained the reasons for his sacking, and he said he would like to understand the club’s decision in order to learn lessons to take into his next job.

“On the day, I spoke to John Coates and to Jon Walters,” Schumacher told 

“John Coates obviously gave me the news that they were going to go in a different direction and Jon Walters said he would sit and explain stuff to me in a couple of weeks when things had died down, which I didn’t quite agree with on the day.

“I wish he’d just told me on the day and I could have dealt with it.

“As of yet, as of now, Jon has text me, and I said, yeah, I would like to meet up, but as of this moment, we still haven’t had that chat.

“So I’m sure at some point, it might come, it might not, I don’t know.

“But I would like to know because for my career, I’d like to figure out where it all went wrong in their eyes and then whether I agree with it or not is a different matter, but at least I’d like to know.”
