The Dutchman has managed the club twice before, from 1996-2002 and then from September 2011 to December 2012.

He has not been in management since he was left TSG Hoffenheim for health reasons just over three years ago.

Tedesco led Schalke to a second-place finish in the Bundesliga last season but their slide down the table sees them just four points clear of the relegation play-off place.
