Dzeko had a memorable season with Schalke. |
Schalke 04 secured their return to the Bundesliga after defeating Fortuna Dusseldorf 1-0 in the 32nd round of the German Second Division on May 3rd. This result gives the Ruhr team a 10-point lead over Hannover 96, thus guaranteeing them a place in the top two with only two rounds remaining in the season.
The only goal of the match was scored by captain Kenan Karaman in the 15th minute. His shot into the far corner was also his 14th goal of the season, securing a decisive victory in front of over 60,000 spectators.
All eyes were on Edin Dzeko. The 40-year-old striker returned from a shoulder injury and came on in the 69th minute. Although he didn't score, his presence was still very significant in terms of morale on the day Schalke officially secured promotion.
Dzeko joined Schalke in January and quickly made an impact, scoring 6 goals in 9 games. During his absence, his teammates maintained consistent form, especially Moussa Sylla, who scored crucial goals towards the end of the season.
Schalke's success is also closely linked to the impact of coach Miron Muslic. The 43-year-old was appointed last summer and quickly led the team out of crisis to become a promotion contender.
This marks Schalke's second return to the Bundesliga in five years, after being relegated in 2021 and 2023. This time, they are not only aiming for promotion but also have a great chance to win the Second Division title.
Schalke are currently 9 points ahead of second-placed Paderborn and have played one more game. Winning their remaining two matches would effectively secure the Second Division title for Dzeko and his teammates.
