VfL Osnabrück Dismisses Coach and Sporting Director in Response to Crisis

The 3. Liga club, sitting at the bottom of the table, takes drastic measures to address what is being called the worst sporting crisis in its history.

• VfL Osnabrück has parted ways with head coach Pit Reimers and sporting director Philipp Kaufmann after a string of poor performances in the 3. Liga.
• The team has only managed six points in ten games under Reimers, who was appointed in September as the second coach this season.
• The club is currently last in the 3. Liga standings, eight points away from safety, following their relegation from the 2. Bundesliga in the summer.
• Club president Holger Elixmann stated the decision was painful but necessary to halt the team's downward trajectory.
• Kaufmann, who joined the club in March, has faced criticism for assembling the struggling squad, which has gone eight consecutive league matches without a win.
