Sander gets the chop
Energie Cottbus, winless this season after six matches and lying bottom of the Bundesliga, have sacked their manager Petrik Sander.
The 46-year-old was given his marching orders after Saturday's latest defeat, a 2-1 loss at home to Vfl Wolfsburg.
Sander becomes the first top flight German manager to be let go this season.
Explaining the move Cotbus' general manager Steffen Heidrich told a press conference on Sunday: "The sporting situation is very negative."
