Confirmed: Fortuna Düsseldorf sack Friedhelm Funkel
Fortuna Düsseldorf have sacked Friedhelm Funkel with immediate effect.
Friedhelm Funkel has been relieved of his duties as Fortuna Düsseldorf coach, the club have announced.
Fortuna have been in poor form in recent months and have won just one of their last nine Bundesliga games.
Last week, 'Die Flingeraner' slipped to last place behind Paderborn after losing 3-0 to Bayer Leverkusen.
Funkel led the club to promotion to the Bundesliga in the 2017/18 campaign. The club finished 10th in Germany's top flight last season.
