RB Leipzig have terminated their agreement with coach Domenico Tedesco, who has been with the club about nine months.
His dismissal stems from a miserable start to the new season.
“RB Leipzig have parted company with Domenico Tedesco with immediate effect. Assistant coaches Andreas Hinkel and Max Urwantschky have also left the club,” read an official club statement posted to social media.
The former Spartak Moscow boss has taken just one win from five in the Bundesliga.
He suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League opener on Tuesday.
It marks the second permanent change in the top job in the space of a year for Leipzig, who sacked now-Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch less than half-a-year into his tenure last December.
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig have noted that they will announce a successor in due course.
