🚨 Not just Wagner out, another Bundesliga club sacks their manager | OneFootball

It was one defeat too many that ultimately cost him his job. Bo Henriksen is no longer the coach at Mainz 05. The Bundesliga club just announced this a short while ago.

This marks the end of a development that hardly anyone saw coming before the start of the Bundesliga season. Henriksen had actually written a success story with FSV, recently leading them into Europe. However, in recent months things went steeply downhill, all the way to the bottom of the table. Alongside Sandro Wagner, he is the second coach to be dismissed after matchday 12.

Even after the 0:4 defeat in Freiburg, sporting director Niko Bungert avoided making a statement of loyalty: "We will discuss this calmly and not announce anything right now or debate it live on television."

In the Bundesliga, Mainz have been winless since their 4:1 victory over FC Augsburg on September 20. Since then, there have been six defeats and two draws in eight matches. They were also knocked out of the DFB-Pokal by VfB Stuttgart (0:2). 

Only in the Conference League are things going better for the club. With three wins and one loss, they currently occupy a direct spot for the round of 16. But this previous success was not enough to save Henriksen. 

Instead, U23 coach Benjamin Hoffmann is set to take over as interim coach, according to 'kicker'.
