Hannover 96 have dismissed head coach Christian Titz after a poor start to the season. The club said in a statement on Monday, 14 September, that he had been relieved of his duties.

The decision followed Friday's 2-1 defeat to 1.FC Nürnberg, a setback for promotion hopefuls who finished fourth last season.

Hannover have taken only four points from their first five games this year.

U-23 coach Lars Barlemann will take interim charge, preparing the first team for next Sunday's clash with VfL Bochum.

Hannover had aimed to build on last season and carry momentum into the new campaign, but that has not materialised. Over the weekend there was a review of recent weeks and months, with instability, a lack of clarity at key moments and recurring late-season issues cited as concerns, and the change framed as a chance to reset and pull together.
