2018–20: Breakthrough and captaincy

Nübel started the season as Schalke's backup goalkeeper to Ralf Fährmann. After the winter break, Schalke's head coach Domenico Tedesco, dropped Fährmann as the club's first-choice goalkeeper and promoted Nübel.[2] On 2 February 2019, Nübel was sent off with a straight red card in a match against Borussia Mönchengladbach and was suspended for the club's next two Bundesliga matches.[3] Nübel started in every match for Schalke after he was selected as the first-choice goalkeeper, with the exception of the two matches he was suspended for.

On 6 August 2019, Nübel was selected by Schalke's head coach David Wagner as the club's new captain.[4] Nübel entered the season with only one year left on his contract with Schalke. On 22 December 2019, Schalke revealed that Nübel had informed the club that he would not renew his contract.[5] On 4 January 2020, Nübel agreed to join Bayern Munich on a free transfer at the end of the season.[6] He then handed the captaincy over to Omar Mascarell.[7]

Bayern Munich

Nübel joined Bayern Munich on 30th June 2020.[8]
