Michael Schumacher’s manager has rejected reports the seven time world champion could become the president of a premier football club.<\/p>\n
The Bundesliga team FC Koln (Cologne) is looking for a new president and the news agency DAPD recently said Schumacher’s name had been put forward.<\/p>\n
Late last week, Schumacher’s former rival Gerhard Berger tipped the 43-year-old to quit F1 at the end of this season because “he can’t beat a young driver at (teammate Nico) Rosberg’s level”.<\/p>\n
The next day, the Mercedes driver watched Cologne play Schalke, even visiting the club’s private area at the stadium.<\/p>\n
So is there any truth to the rumours?<\/p>\n
“It’s known that Michael has been a Cologne fan for many years.\u00a0 That doesn’t mean he wants to be the president.<\/p>\n
“His 100 per cent priority is his job with Mercedes in formula one,” insisted manager and spokeswoman Sabine Kehm.<\/p>\n
