Schalke 04 defender Baba Rahman has described the club’s head coach Domenico Tedesco as a great manager following his return to the club.

The Chelsea loanee is having a second spell at the club and having trained for a little over two weeks under Tedesco, he feels the young coach is a great manager.

“I loved the coach right away. The club is fortunate to have such a great coach," he told the kicker ahead of the side’s clash with Hoffenheim on Saturday.

The Ghanaian has been sidelined by a long injury he sustained while the senior national team of the West African side during the 2017 African Nation Cup.

Despite having a long term recovery and responding very well to training, Tedesco believes he needs a little more time to shape well for the Schalke challenge.

"To be honest, Baba needs a few more weeks, but he's on the right path," Tedesco responded to the media.
