a very late coach sacking was announced today . union berlin sacks its coach Bo Svensson with immediate effect. the team of union berlin has already
not won 9 matches in a row and last lost against werder bremen with 1:4. it is not yet known who will be the new coach at union berlin.
the new coach should then lead the team from 12th place to the top. but that will not be easy for the new coach either

The decision comes at the right time. It is right before halftime of the season and Union Berlin was 4th in the table I think after 8 games. Now they dropped to 12th and didn't win a game in a very long time as Soonandwaite mentioned. If they decided to find the right moment to act, then it was now. They gave him two months or a bit more than that to fix the problems, but if he can't do it and the management knows that Union Berlin can do better than that, then sack him.
Has a new coach been appointed already or what are the rumors until now? They have some time, but it's possible that they will present some interim coach. Whether that is the best way to go or not remains to be seen, but as it was said, it is not going to be easy for anyone who is going to take over.
