The 45-year-old Formula 1 ace has been sedated since his skiing accident at the French resort of Meribel in December last year.
Sabine Khem said: 'Michael is making progress on his way. He shows moments of consciousness and awakening. We are on his side during his long and difficult fight, together with the team of the hospital in Grenoble, and we keep remaining confident.
New hope: Schumacher's manager has said the F1 driver has shown 'encouraging signs' of improvement
'We would like to thank you all for the continuous sympathies.
'At the same time we again ask for understanding that we do not intend to disclose details. This is necessary to protect the privacy of Michael and his family, and to enable the medical team to work in full calmness.'
The encouraging news comes after Ms Khem revealed he will not be confined to a vegetative state for the rest of his life.
However, she said Schumacher will not be moved from Grenoble Hospital anytime soon.
His family and friends have also stressed there is no truth in wild rumours that his wife Corinna 'has built or plans to build any kind of medical suite for Michael on any of the buildings on their land in Gland, Switzerland. This includes future buildings'.
‘I can only repeat there are signs that give us encouragement,’ said Sabine Kehm, claiming unending ‘negative’ reports that doctors fear he will be condemned to life as a vegetable are untrue.
‘Family, friends and doctors are optimistic,’ said Bild, without elaborating on where the optimism comes from.
Earlier this week it was said that his wife Corinna was planning on spending £10million on building a fully equipped medical suite on their vast family estate in Switzerland, although new reports say it will be built at his father's home.
Even though Corinna Schumacher, 45, has been told by doctors it is highly unlikely the racing ace will ever wake up from his medically induced coma, reports said she decided to use the family's £500million fortune to build the facility in their lavish £25million estate on the banks of Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
Today is the three month anniversary of the Alps skiing accident where the seven-time F1 champion, 45, hit his head and was put into an induced coma to reduce brain swelling.
