Hamburger SV Parts Ways with Coach Steffen Baumgart After Five Winless Matches

The decision follows the team's 2-2 draw against Schalke 04, where a two-goal lead was squandered, leaving the club in seventh place and struggling to meet its Bundesliga promotion ambitions.

  • Steffen Baumgart has been dismissed as head coach of Hamburger SV, with the club citing the need for a 'new impulse' amid ongoing performance struggles.
  • HSV has failed to win in their last five matches, including a 2-2 draw against Schalke 04 after leading 2-0, which fans greeted with boos.
  • The team currently sits in seventh place in the 2. Bundesliga, four points off the top, but their inconsistent performances have raised concerns about their promotion prospects.
  • Baumgart's tenure, which began in February 2024, saw mixed results, with 12 wins, 7 draws, and 8 losses in 27 matches.
  • Assistant coach Merlin Polzin will take over on an interim basis as HSV prepares for their next match against Karlsruher SC.
