Managerial career

After his active career, Schneider stepped into the coaching profession and replaced Ciriaco Sforza as Thun's caretaker manager on 1 July 2015.

In June 2021, recently relegated Belgian First Division B club Waasland-Beveren announced that they had appointed Schneider as their new head coach, succeeding Nicky Hayen, who had not been able to keep the club at the highest level. [5] He moved to manage Greuther Fürth in May 2022. [6] He was sacked in October 2022. [7]

On 15 February 2024, he was appointed as the new head coach of Liechtenstein's FC Vaduz, who play in the Swiss Challenge League. [8]
