VfL Bochum has drawn conclusions after the recent negative series in the Bundesliga and fired coach Thomas Letsch. “In our current situation, we no longer have the conviction that we can make it in the current constellation,” said sports director Patrick Fabian. Bochum had previously lost 1:2 against their direct rivals from Cologne on matchday 28 and is now only three points ahead of the relegation place.
The club wants to provide information about the new coaching position as soon as possible. The former U21 national coach Stefan Kuntz could be considered as a successor. He worked as a player at Bochum from 1983 to 1986 and 1998/99 and was most recently national coach of Turkey. But Bochum is also said to have negotiated with Peter Stöger. Stöger was employed as a coach at 1. FC Köln from 2013 to 2017 and at Borussia Dortmund from 2017 to 2018.
