Schalke Director Frank Baumann Buys Fans a Round of Beer at 1:30 AM During Training Camp
During Schalke 04's traditional Blue-White Night at their training camp in Neustift, Austria, sports director Frank Baumann (50) endeared himself to fans by buying a round of beer for the remaining 25 supporters at the local pub 'Dorfwirt' shortly before closing time at 1:30 AM. The event, held on the last evening of the camp, saw players leave after about half an hour, but Baumann, along with transfer director Max Lüftl, board boss Matthias Tillmann, and football director Youri Mulder, stayed late to chat, sign autographs, and take selfies. Baumann, who is also working on a deal to sign veteran striker Edin Dzeko (40), personally treated the fans to wheat beer, costing just under 100 euros. The stage program was initially canceled due to thunderstorm concerns, but the weather improved, though many fans had already left. The club offered an additional autograph session the next morning as compensation.
