Monday, 14 March 2011
BERLIN, Mar 13 (AFP): Hamburg announced the sacking of coach Armin Veh on Sunday, a day after his side suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat at Bayern Munich.
Veh had announced in midweek that he planned to quit in May at the end of the season, citing internal problems at the club, but the outcome of Sunday's emergency management meeting decided he would leave immediately.
Prior to Saturday's reverse, Hamburg were beaten 4-2 at home by Mainz last weekend.
Assistant coach Michael Oenning, 45, is set to take over the helm of eighth-placed Hamburg till the end of the season and will be assisted by former player Rodolfo Cardoso.
