Hütteldorf, Österreich - Stefan Schwab, who has played a central role in the Greek club Paok Saloniki in the past five years, now ends his successful time there and will no longer be running for the club. PAOK announced this about her official channels and thanked for the extraordinary achievements of the 34-year-old midfielder, who is considered a flawless professional and was appointed captain last week. According to 12termann leaves the club after a total of 243 games in which he scored 34 goals and 23 assists gave.

started his trip in Saloniki in the summer of 2020 when he moved from SK Rapid to Greece. Schwab quickly became a key player in the middle of Paok. His greatest successes include winning the Greek Cup in the 2020/21 season and the championship title 2023/24. As a captain, he led the team to new heights last season, which not only earned him respect, but also a legend status among the fans.

The future of the captain

But how is Schwab continuing? A return to his old club SK Rapid is considered unlikely. Under coach Markus Katzer, Rapid has given a clear focus on players with a resale value, and the squad is also reinforced by the routine Lukas Grgic in defensive midfield. Even if Schwab is acted as a potential for a place in the team, the prospect of playing as a reservist at Rapid is not particularly tempting for the former captain of Paok.

Rather, it is becoming apparent that Schwab could possibly switch to SV Ried, where there is a strong interest in him. Ried is urgently looking for a leading player in the central midfield to strengthen the squad after some departures have already been recorded. According to Laola1 , Schwab is considered the desired candidate of the Rieder.

A move to Ried therefore not only seems realistic, but also promising. The fans of the Rieder could look forward to the announcement should an agreement. But other clubs could also show interest in the experienced player what makes the situation even more exciting for Schwab.

How it goes on remains to be seen. The coming weeks will show where the popular player will land. For his impressive commitment and success at PAOK, the fans Schwab will surely keep memory for a long time. Life as a football professional remains turbulent, and the next step is usually only a summer away.
