BERLIN —
Sebastian Hoeness was sacked by
Bundesliga side Hoffenheim on Tuesday, paying
the price for failing to secure a place in Europe for next season following a
string of poor results.

Five days after his 40th birthday, Hoeness was shown
the door as Hoffenheim finished ninth in Germany’s top flight, falling six
points short of a place in the
European Conference League.
The writing was on the wall for the nephew of former
Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness when Hoffenheim rounded off their league
campaign with a 5–1 thrashing by Borussia Moenchengladbach last Saturday.
Hoffemheim were fourth — in the Champions League
places — in mid March, but have dropped down the table since, losing their last
three games and conceded 13 goals in the process.
“We have always clearly expressed our appreciation
of Sebastian Hoeness in the past few months. That’s why the decision wasn’t
easy for us,” said Hoffenheim sports director Alexander Rosen.
“We have to admit that the results and events of the
past two months have overshadowed many of the many positive aspects.”
Hoeness, who joined Hoffenheim after coaching
Bayern’s reserves, is the fourth coach to part company with a Bundesliga club
in as many days.
Both Adi Huetter and
Markus Weinzierl announced Saturday
they were leaving Borussia Moenchengaldbach and Augsburg respectively.
