HAMBURG SV coach Armin Veh, who announced last Tuesday he would leave the club at the end of the season, was fired on Sunday following the 0-6 Bundesliga defeat at Bayern Munich.
"After he made it known he would leave at the end of the season and, with the impression left by the last two games, we decided to make the cut now and part company with Armin Veh," Hamburg director Bastian Reinhardt told the club website.
Veh, 50, who won the Bundesliga title with VfB Stuttgart in 2007, had been in charge of the team for eight months, having taking over at the start of the season.
Last season, he was fired by VfL Wolfsburg after only five months at the club.
The club said assistant coach Michael Oenning would take charge for the remainder of the season, becoming the club's sixth coach in the last four years.
Hamburg is eighth in the Bundesliga but its chances of a place in Europe have suffered in the last week, with a 2-4 home loss to Mainz preceding Saturday's debacle.
It was a case of deja vu for the club which fired Bruno Labbadia near the end of last season after a similar heavy loss, 1-5 to Hoffenheim.
Assistant coach Reiner Geyer has also been fired.
Oenning, a former coach at Nuremberg, could remain in charge next season.
"There are still eight games before the season ends. We don't want to give anything away," said Reinhardt.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Vedad Ibisevic scored the only goal for Hoffenheim in the 63rd minute but Borussia Dortmund kept its 12-point lead intact with Bayern Leverkusen, in second place on 49, in action yesterday at Mainz.
Bayern, which agreed earlier this week to part ways with coach Louis van Gaal at the end of the season after three straight defeats in all competitions, climbed to fourth on 45 points, two behind Hanover 96, which lost 0-4 to FC Cologne on Friday.
Also, Borussia Moenchengladbach held Werder Bremen 1-1, Schalke beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1, Nuremberg won 2-1 at Wolfsburg, and Kaiserslautern beat visiting SC Freiburg 2-1.
