German World Cup hero Kevin Großkreutz, 37 years old, has been the coach of the German club SV Wacker Obercastrop in the German sixth division.
He is no longer so. After the club suffered their fifth defeat in the opening seven games, the former Dortmund player has been sacked. The club thanks its coach on its own website.
“After a sporting analysis, both parties have decided to terminate the existing contractual relationship through mutual agreement,” the club writes in a statement.
Großkreutz ended his professional career in 2021. Two years later, he was back on the pitch for Obercastrop, first as a player. About a year ago, the former national team player became an assistant coach, and in May he was appointed head coach along with Jimmy Thimm.
