Bundesliga club Union Berlin will be searching for a new head coach after parting ways with Urs Fischer as confirmed by the Bundesliga . The Swiss manager and the club have mutually consented to end their partnership after over four years together.
Fischer led Union Berlin to unforeseen heights after joining in 2018, guiding the team to promotion to the German top flight in his first season and establishing them as a competitive Bundesliga side in the years since. Under his tutelage, Union Berlin became renowned for their organization and defensive solidity.
However, after a fruitful period, both parties have opted for a change as the club seeks further progress. Union Berlin currently sit seventh in the Bundesliga table but have won just one of their last five league games. The emergence of clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen has made it difficult to return to last season’s heights. Fischer departs with the club achieving their highest ever Bundesliga position last term.
The 57-year-old coach expressed gratitude to Union Berlin for his time there. He stated it was an honor to work for the club and praised the support of the fans. Union Berlin also thanked Fischer for his work, wishing him the best for the future. Details regarding a possible successor have not been announced as the search begins.
Fischer’s departure leaves Union Berlin looking to maintain their status in the top tier under new guidance, after a chapter of overachievement under the stewardship of the now former head coach comes to an end.
