FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) Struggling Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt has sacked coach Armin Veh in a bid to avoid relegation.
Frankfurt chairman Heribert Bruchhagen says his dismissal was ''very hard for us because Armin Veh had our confidence to the end. Still, we wanted to give the team a fresh boost with a coaching change in the relegation battle so we can secure our survival. Eintracht Frankfurt thanks Armin Veh for his work.''
Veh began his second stint in charge of Frankfurt last summer, but the side is in the relegation play-off place after just five wins and 11 defeats from 25 league games.
Veh led the side to promotion and clinched European qualification in his first stint from 2011 to 2014.
Assistant coach Reiner Geyer was to take over on an interim basis.
