Hamburger SV Parts Ways with Coach Baumgart and Eyes Squad Overhaul

The club plans to release several players, including Levin Öztunali, as it struggles to regain Bundesliga promotion.

Hamburger SV has dismissed head coach Steffen Baumgart following a four-game winless streak in Germany's second division.
Levin Öztunali, grandson of HSV legend Uwe Seeler, is among the players expected to leave during the winter transfer window after failing to secure a regular spot in the lineup.
Other players reportedly on the departure list include Anssi Suhonen and William Mikelbrencis, as confirmed by HSV's sporting director Stefan Kuntz.
The team is currently four points behind league leaders SC Paderborn, with promotion to the Bundesliga at risk for the seventh consecutive season.
Speculation surrounds Bruno Labbadia as a potential coaching replacement, though no official decision has been announced yet.
