1. FC Köln will sack Gerhard Struber | OneFootball

Despite sitting second and three points clear of third, FC Köln will part ways with head coach Gerhard Struber and sporting director Christian Keller, according to Kölnische Rundschau.

Die Geißböcke have won just one of their last five league games and have lost top spot in the 2. Bundesliga to Hamburg following their 1-1 draw against bottom club Jahn Regensburg on Saturday night. With games against Nürnberg and Kaiserslautern to end their season and HSV, Elversberg and Paderborn all winning, Effzeh have made the decision.

This comes following a crisis meeting after the draw against Regensburg. Kölnische Rundschau further report that the team has been involved, and all that is pending is an official confirmation.

Who will take charge at FC Köln?

According to Sky Germany, Friedhelm Funkel (71) is the favourite to take charge of the remaining two games of the season. He has managed to help six teams get promoted to the Bundesliga.
