As of yet, there is no word as to whether the Frenchman - who has only played professionally in Germany - will be continuing his career elsewhere. Schmid never regained relevance in Streich's plans ever since a bout with long COVID that began in the autumn of 2021. In a December interview, the player declared himself content with Freiburg even if he wasn't playing.
Zu Beginn spricht Christian Streich über Nils Petersen und Johnny Schmid, die am Freitag ihr letztes Heimspiel für den #SCF erleben. Da reichen aber die möglichen Zeichen bei Twitter bei weitem nicht aus. Hört euch den Part später am besten auf https://t.co/mlaWmE7ekV an 😉
