Fired Head Coach of Hamburg Club © EuroFootball.com

Former Leverkusen strategist Klaus Toppmöller has been sacked from his position as head coach of the team from Germany.

The decision to dismiss the coach was made after another defeat in the Bundesliga. This time - to the team. After 8 matches in the Bundesliga, Hamburg's team has only 6 points and shares the role of an outsider in the tournament table with the team.

Together with Toppmöller, his assistant Werner Melzer was also fired.

With Klaus Toppmöller, who led Leverkusen's Bayer team to the Champions League final in 2002, there were hopes to revive the struggling Hamburg club. A club that won the Champions Cup in 1983. For similar reasons, last year's Hamburg team coach Kurt Jara was also fired.

The former East Germany national team footballer Thomas Doll will temporarily lead the Hamburg team at the moment.
