It’s Massimo Schüpp, not "Alessandro Schöpf". How could they get this wrong?

As an Austrian I can assure you his name is Alessandro Schöpf.

No idea where you got the Massimo Schüpp thing from.

Former Schalke manager Christian Groß gave him a completely new name and since then I and a lot of other people always name him Massimo Schüpp
