Sami Hyypia has been placed in temporary charge of Bayer Leverkusen after Robin Dutt was sacked following a fifth consecutive loss.
The former Liverpool defender will work alongside Under 19 coach Sascha Lewandowski until the end of the season.
Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voeller and managing director Wolfgang Holzhaeuser lost patience with the Dutt after Saturday's 2-0 loss at home to Freiburg.
Leverkusen lie sixth in the Bundesliga on goal difference and are fighting for a Europa League place.
Personally IF this is true I think that it is great.
I always thought that he would become a manager at some point in his life as he was such a dynamic character and leader on the pitch for club and country.
Discuss.
