Overview

• André Breitenreiter has been relieved of his duties as head coach of Hannover 96 following a mutually agreed decision with the club.
• The move comes after three consecutive defeats, which ended Hannover's hopes of promotion from the 2. Bundesliga this season.
• Co-trainer Lars Barlemann, U19 coach Dirk Lottner, and U17 coach Christian Schulz will share interim coaching responsibilities for the remaining four matches.
• Breitenreiter, who was appointed on a half-year contract in December 2024, failed to deliver the expected turnaround in the team's performance.
• Potential candidates for the permanent head coach position include Steven Cherundolo, a club legend, and Lukas Kwasniok, who will leave SC Paderborn at the end of the season.
