Hannover 96 dismisses head coach Christian Titz

Hannover 96 has dismissed head coach Christian Titz and assistant coach André Kilian following a poor start to the 2. Bundesliga season. The decision follows a 1:2 defeat against 1. FC Nürnberg, leaving the club in 15th place with only four points from five matches.

Club CEO Jonas Boldt stated that the team lacked stability and clarity in decisive moments, failing to achieve the desired momentum after a fourth-place finish last season. Reports also suggest underlying tensions between Titz and Boldt regarding transfer policy and squad management.

U23 coach Lars Barlemann will serve as interim manager for the upcoming match against VfL Bochum. Sandro Wagner, a former assistant to Julian Nagelsmann, is reportedly a leading candidate to take over the permanent position.
