Struggling Hoffenheim fires André Breitenreiter as coach
SINSHEIM, Germany (AP) — Struggling Hoffenheim has fired André Breitenreiter as coach after seven months in charge and a run of nine Bundesliga games without a win. Hoffenheim hasn’t won since beating last-place Schalke in the league and then the cup in mid-October. Breitenreiter’s last game in charge was Saturday’s 5-2 loss at relegation rival Bochum. It left the team 14th in the 18-team division, three points above the relegation zone. The 49-year-old Breitenreiter is the sixth Bundesliga coach to lose his job this season.
