Bundesliga strugglers Mainz sack head coach Henriksen - Soccer News
"Mainz have taken just six points from their opening 12 games of the season, with their only league victory coming by a 4-1 scoreline at Augsburg in September. Henriksen led Mainz to a sixth-place finish in the Bundesliga last campaign, securing Conference League qualification, and they sit fifth of 36 teams after four matchdays in Europe's third-tier competition. But Mainz's domestic struggles have forced them to make a change in the dugout, with under-23 coach Benjamin Hofmann taking charge on an interim basis until a permanent successor is appointed."
"Mainz 05 is a wonderful club with wonderful people and wonderful fans. We achieved so much together, and I am truly grateful for all the experiences and for our time together. Thank you for the incredible support! Unfortunately, we couldn't play the same successful football this season, even though we fought for it right to the end. That's football sometimes."
Mainz parted company with head coach Bo Henriksen following a 4-0 defeat to Freiburg that left the club bottom of the Bundesliga. The team has collected six points from 12 league games, with a solitary league win, 4-1 at Augsburg. Henriksen had led Mainz to a sixth-place finish and Conference League qualification last season, and the club sits fifth in its Conference League group after four matchdays. Domestic struggles prompted a managerial change, and under-23 coach Benjamin Hofmann will lead the first team on an interim basis until a permanent successor is appointed.
