SSV Ulm Ousts Sporting Director and Head Coach After Captains' Letter

The 3. Liga club sits in the drop zone following five straight defeats, including a 5–0 home loss to Hansa Rostock.

Overview

  • The club announced late Monday that it had mutually parted with Markus Thiele and dismissed head coach Moritz Glasbrenner, with assistant Max Kohlenberg also relieved of duties.
  • Officials said extensive talks were respectful but could not restore the unity and trust deemed necessary for the team's future.
  • The shake-up followed a leaked appeal from captains Johannes Reichert and Christian Ortag describing a poisoned atmosphere and broken trust, which the board said was regrettable for fueling unrest.
  • Ulm has dropped to a relegation position after five consecutive league losses, conceding 19 goals in that span, capped by the 5–0 home defeat to Hansa Rostock.
  • The club said it will announce next steps and successor arrangements in the coming days.
