Schröder will finish working for Bayer 04 at the end of the year before taking up his new post as chairman of the board at FC Schalke 04 in the New Year.
Fernando Carro, CEO: "I'd like to thank Bernd Schröder both personally and on behalf of Bayer 04. He has always fulfilled his duties with great commitment and expert knowledge. Our job now is to distribute his duties, projects and processes of change onto other shoulders. We will take the necessary time to do that."
Bernd Schröder: "I've really felt at home in Leverkusen and in the circle of the Bayer 04 family in the past few years. Even though it's painful: I've consciously decided to take up a new and special challenge at FC Schalke 04. I wish Bayer 04 continuing success. And I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Fernando Carro who gave me this chance."
