FC Nuremberg has named former Hannover coach Dieter Hecking as its
replacement for Michael Oenning, who was fired this week.
The 46-year-old Hecking parted company with Hannover in
August after just two games - one loss and one draw.
At a news conference Tuesday, Hecking said he was "passionate
about this new job" and conceded the club was in a difficult
situation.
Oenning was fired Monday after a dismal run of form that left
the club in 17th place in the 18-team Bundesliga, going into the
winter break with only 12 points from 17 games.
