Hamburg hires Labbadia in bid to avoid relegation
Print Edition
LAST-PLACE Hamburger SV hired Bruno Labbadia as coach yesterday in an effort to head off its first-ever relegation from the Bundesliga.
The club signed a 15-month contract with Labbadia, who played for Hamburg in the late 1980s and coached the side in 2009-10, to remain in charge irrespective of league status. The 49-year-old former VfB Stuttgart coach was to take charge of yesterday’s training session, assisted by Eddy Soezer, with former interim coach Peter Knaebel reverting as sports director. Knaebel oversaw two defeats since predecessor Joe Zinnbauer was sacked. Zinnbauer himself replaced the fired Mirko Slomka last September, making Labbadia Hamburg’s fourth coach of the season. Hamburg, the only founding member of the Bundesliga never to be relegated, is last with six games left, four points from safety after four straight defeats. The club has the league’s weakest attack with 16 goals in 28 games — none in the last five games.
