Schalke manager Domenico Tedesco's job may come down to how well his side fares against RB Leipzig next week, according to <a href="https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fussball/schalke-04-naechstes-job-endspiel-fuer-domenico-tedesco-60577826.bild.html" target="_blank">Bild</a>. The club have endured a terrible season, but a recent uptick in performance has helped Tedesco, even if the results have not always been there. But while the midweek match against Manchester City is considered secondary, if Schalke loses against Leipzig the club will likely replace Tedesco with a manager to help keep them from relegation.
