Union Berlin has released coach Bo Svensson and his team. The Bundesliga club announced this on Friday after the team remained winless in the league eight times in a row. It has not yet been decided who will take over the team in the new year. Svensson took over at the start of the season and won four of the first seven league games and in the first round of the cup. In the second round of the cup they had to give up against third division team Bielefeld.
“After a detailed analysis of the season so far, we are convinced that a significant change is necessary to reverse the trend,” explained managing director Horst Heldt. “We have therefore decided not to continue working with Bo Svensson, Babak Keyhanfar, Kristoffer Wichmann and Tijan Njie.”
