No time? blue Sport summarizes for you
- Steffen Baumgart is no longer coach of HSV.
- After the 2:2 draw against Schalke 04, Baumgart has called it a day. He took over the team last February.
- A successor is not yet known.
The club announced the 52-year-old's dismissal one day after the 2:2 draw against Schalke, in which Hamburg squandered a 2:0 lead in their own stadium. The promotion hopefuls had recently gone four wins in a row in the league and were eliminated in the cup against Bundesliga side Freiburg.
Baumgart took over as coach from Tim Walter in February 2024. Last season, Hamburg finished in fourth place and missed out on a barrage place by five points.
HSV has not yet presented a successor. For the time being, assistant coach Merlin Polzin will take over as head coach.
