Matarazzo had been at the club for almost three years, arriving in December 2019 and earning promotion back to the top tier of German football.

The American had impressed in the dugout since arriving in the Bundesliga, earning two solid mid-table finishes.

However, Stuttgart have made a poor start to this season having failed to win any of their first nine fixtures.
