Thomas Reis is ready to take over as Schalke 04 coach if Frank Kramer loses his job, according to Bild.

Kramer's job is hanging by a thread after last night's 5-1 DFB-Pokal defeat against Hoffenheim, which was their fifth straight competitive loss.

Speaking after the game, Schalke sporting director Rouven Schröder refused to give any guarantees about Kramer's future at Veltins-Arena.

Reis was heavily linked with Schalke in the summer, but ended up staying at VfL Bochum, who relieved him of his duties in September.

Per Bild, Reis and Schalke agreed a contract worth €1.4 million per year including add-ons at the time.
