Union Berlin Parts Ways with Coach Urs Fischer Amid Poor Performance

Under-19 Coach Marco Grote Steps in as Interim, Assisted by Bundesliga's First Female Coach Marie-Louise Eta

Union Berlin, a Bundesliga football club, has parted ways with its head coach Urs Fischer after a 14-game winless run in all competitions.
Fischer led Union Berlin from the second division to the Bundesliga for the first time and then into European competition, including the Champions League.
Union Berlin's poor performance this season, with just one draw and 13 losses from its last 14 games, led to Fischer's departure.
Union Berlin's president Dirk Zingler and Fischer jointly decided it was time for a change, hoping a different coach could turn the team around.
Union Berlin's under-19 coach Marco Grote will be in interim charge, supported by Marie-Louise Eta, the first female coach in Bundesliga history.
