The Bundesliga's outsider club after yesterday's draw in the German championship match with the head coach Thomas Doll dismissed from his duties. This coach represented the Hamburg team as a player in 1990. Then, after an impressive season, he was sold to "Lazio" for a huge sum at that time - 7.5 million euros. Later he played for Frankfurt's Eintracht and Bari teams, and in 1998 he returned to Hamburg, but a serious injury forced the longtime German national team defender to end his career in 2001. In 2002, T. Dollas became the coach of Hamburg's reserve team, and since 2004 he started to lead the main team, helping it to stay in the Bundesliga. Last season T. Dollas led the team to the Champions League, but tragic results exhausted the patience of the club's management - Hamburg dropped out of the Champions League and found themselves among the outsiders in the Bundesliga. Thomas Dollas is the third coach to lose his job in the Bundesliga in recent days - earlier, "Gladbach" coach Jupp Heynckes resigned, and on Tuesday, "Bayern" strategist Felix Magath was dismissed.
